A study of the operatic repertory written and performed in France during the last 20 years of the 19th century. The text offers an account of works such as "Manon" and "Werther" by Massenet, as well as lesser-known works, providing a survey of a repertory influenced by the music of Richard Wagner.
This is the first book-length study of the rich operatic repertory written and performed in France during the last two decades of the nineteenth century. Steven Huebner gives an accessible and colourful account of such operatic favourites as Manon and Werther by Massenet, Louise by Charpentier, and lesser-known gems such as Chabrier''s Le Roi malgré lui and Chausson''s Le Roi Arthus. For the first time opera lovers have available under a single cover a survey of a repertory profoundly influenced by the music of Richard Wagner.
