! theoretical studies under Cherubini, which he continued with great ardor for a year or so. His first opera given in public was le Sejour militaire, in one act, which failed completely in 1813. After another failure in 1819, he scored a genuine success at the The'atre-Feydeau (the then Opera- Comique) with la Bergere chatelaine (3 acts) in 1820, and Emma, ou la pro- messe imprudente, confirmed his reputation the next year. About 1824, in which year his Concert a la Cour and Leocadie were brought out, a change in his manner was noticeable : his style became broader and more finished, his writing was, so to speak, on a larger scale ; this tendency became still more marked with le Magon, given in 1825, which is generally considered as marking the beginning of his second manner. This second period of Auber's closed in splendor with la Muette de Portici, given at the Academie de Musique in 1828. His masterpieces, la Fiancee, Fra Diavolo, Lestocq, le Domino noir, and le Cheval de Bronze belong to his third period. With les Diamants de la Couronne, brought out in 1841, his style began to expand still further, and, unlike most great composers, he entered upon a fourth period, to which belong his operas, la Part du Diable, la Sirene, and Maydie. Auber was undoubtedly the greatest, as well as one of the most charac- teristic, French writers of opera-comique ; it was in this vein that he was most at home and in which he won his greatest successes. Nevertheless, one of his grand operas, la Muette de Portici (better known in this country in its Italian version, Masanielld), is accounted his greatest masterpiece by some judges, and was moreover an epoch-making work. In la Muette Auber began that revolution in the style of French grand opera which was continued by Rossini in his Guillaume Tell, and completed — in the way of Just Published E. A.

Le Cheval De Bronze De Daniel Auber
GALERÍA DE RAREZAS Le cheval de bronze de Daniel Auber por Ricardo Marcos oy exploraremos una sala encantadora, generosamente iluminada, con grandes mesas en donde podemos degustar algunos de los chocolates franceses más sofisticados y deliciosos, de esta galería de rarezas operísticas. El compositor en cuestión gozó de la gloria operística y fue el segundo director en la historia del Conservatorio de París. Su Hmusa es ligera e irresistible, si bien una de sus grandes creaciones es una obra dramática. Durante la década de 1820 París se convirtió en el centro del mundo musical gracias en gran medida a tres casas de ópera emblemáticas; La Opéra de Paris, la Opéra Comique y el Thêatre Italien. Daniel Auber, quien había estudiado con Luigi Cherubini, se convirtió en el gran señor de la ópera cómica y habría de ser modelo para compositores como Adolphe Adam, Francois Bazin y Victor Masse, entre otros. Dotado desde pequeño para la música, Auber había aprendido a tocar violín y el piano pero fue hasta 1811 en que perfeccionó sus estudios musicales y se dedicó de tiempo completo a la composición. Entre sus mejores obras dentro del campo de la ópera cómica se encuentran joyas como Fra Diavolo y Le domino noir; sin embargo, hay una obra más para completar un trío de obras maestras que, junto con las grandes óperas La muette de Portici, Haydée y Gustave III, conforman lo mejor de su producción. Estrenada el 23 de marzo de 1835, con un libreto de Eugène Scribe, el sempiterno libretista francés de la primera mitad del siglo XIX, El caballo de bronce es una obra deliciosa por la vitalidad de sus duetos, ensambles y la gracia de sus arias, muchas de ellas demandantes; con dos roles brillantes para soprano, uno para tenor, uno para barítono y uno para bajo.

Encore Un De Ces Aimables Chefs-D'œuvre Dont MM. Scribe Et Auber
REVUE DES DEUX MONDES , 1st April 1844, pp. 172-184. Encore un de ces aimables chefs-d’œuvre dont MM. Scribe et Auber possèdent seuls le secret. Une fois par an, ces deux imaginations charmantes se réunissent ; ces deux talens si ingénieux, si français, si merveilleusement faits pour se comprendre, mettent en commun leurs richesses et livrent sur la scène de l’Opéra-Comique une de ces batailles dont on sort toujours en vainqueur, quand on a, d’une part, de l’esprit et de l’habileté dramatique, de l’autre, un tact musical, une verve, un goût, en un mot cent recettes mélodieuses dont le fonds semble ne pas devoir s’épuiser. Long-temps on eut pour coryphée M me Damoreau [Cinti-Damoreau], l’ensemble atteignit alors son plus haut point, et donna pour résultat l’Ambassadrice , Actéon , le Domino noir , Zanetta , toute sorte de délicieuses fantaisies spirituellement imaginées, où la musique intervient avec grace, où la mot et le motif se combinent pour le succès. Cependant le groupe aimé se désunit : M me Damoreau [Cinti- Damoreau], cédant à je ne sais quelle fièvre un peu tardive de locomotion, partit, abandonnant le jeu si bien tenu à trois depuis des années ; sur quoi plus d’un s’émut dans le public. De l’émotion on en vint aux inquiétudes ; on se disait : M. Auber va désormais se taire ; privé de la cantatrice à laquelle il avait attaché la fortune de ses chefs-d’œuvre, de la virtuose affectionnée qu’il avait voulu suivre dans sa migration de l‘Académie royale de Musique à Favart, le compositeur français par excellence cessera d’écrire.

Henry Prunières, directeur de la revue et signataire de cette introduction, y stigmatisait le mépris qu'engendrait la notion d'opéra-comique parmi un public wagnérien, debussyste ou stravinskien. Où en sommes-nous, 70 ans plus tard ? Comme ce numéro vénérable, le dossier que vous allez lire se propose de faire le tour du genre, de son éclosion au XVIIIe siècle à son déclin fin du siècle suivant, et en tournant les projecteurs sur les acteurs principaux : Grétry, Boieldieu, Hérold, Adam et Auber. Qu'est-ce que l'opéra-comique ? Né des vaudevilles donnés sur les tréteaux des foires parisiennes, il devint "comédie mêlée d'ariettes", définissant ainsi immédiatement sa singularité formelle, à savoir l'alternance du parlé et du chanté.

L'autorité, 5 Octobre 1895, Pp
JOURNAL DES DÉBATS, 10 septembre 1860, pp. 1–2. Encore quelques jours, et nous aurons traversé cet été si exceptionnel de 1860; ce ne sont pas, au reste, les directeurs de théâtres qui auront eu à s’en plaindre. Pour eux, les beaux yeux de leur cassette embellissent bien des journées sombres, éclaircissent bien des brouillards, chassent bien des nuages, dorent bien des soirées pluvieuses en manière de soleil couchant. La plus belle saison, pour eux, est celle qui empêche les bons habitans de Paris de se livrer aux goûts immodérés de la villégiature, et d’aller le soir flâner sous les ombrages des îles du bois de Boulogne ou sur les bords du lac. MM. les propriétaires des bains de rivière ne sont peut-être pas de cet avis. Mais qu’importe! chacun pour soi dans ce bas monde. Un de nos amis nous racontait une excellente scène qui s’est passée le mois dernier dans un restaurant du boulevard. La dame du comptoir s’est vue sur le point de requérir la présence d’un piquet de la garde nationale ou d’une escouade de sérgens de ville pour mettre d’accord deux interlocuteurs qui, de tous les sujets de conversation, avaient choisi à coup sûr le plus banal et le plus innocent: la pluie et le beau temps. Il faut vous dire que l’un de ces interlocuteurs était un directeur de théâtre, et l’autre propriétaire d’un établissement de bains. On vit le moment où ces messieurs allaient se jeter les carafes à la tête.

Auber Daniel
AUBER DANIEL Compositore francese (Caen, 29 I 1782 - Parigi, 13 V 1871) 1 Figlio di un venditore di stampe parigino e destinato dal padre al commercio di stampe, gli fu concesso tuttavia di dedicarsi alla sua passione per la musica: imparò a suonare diversi strumenti in tenera età dal compositore tirolese Josef Alois Ladurner (7 III 1769 - 20 II 1851). Compiuti i vent'anni, venne inviato a Londra dal padre a completare gli studi finanziari; fu costretto a lasciare l'Inghilterra a causa dello sfacimento del trattato di Amiens del 1804. Avendo già mosso i primi passi verso la composizione, produsse diversi "Concertos pour basse", alla maniera del violoncellista Lamarre, nel cui nome vennero pubblicati. I complimenti fattigli per il suo Concerto per violino, che venne eseguito al Conservatoire de Paris da Jacques Féréol Mazas, lo incoraggiarono a rimettere mano ad una vecchia opera buffa, Julie, nel 1811. Conscio della necessità di uno studio regolare nell'arte da lui scelta, si mise sotto il severo insegnamento di Luigi Cherubini, grazie al quale le capacità del giovane compositore vennero considerevolmente sviluppate. Nel 1813 la reazione sfavorevole al suo debutto operistico, Le séjour militaire, mise fine per qualche tempo ai suoi tentativi come compositore. Ma il fallimento aziendale e la morte del padre, avvenuta nel 1819, lo spinsero ancora una volta verso la musica, ed a fare di essa il suo mestiere. Scrisse un'altra opera, Le testamente et billets-doux, ma la reazione della critica non fu migliore della precedente. Tuttavia perseverò: venne premiato dal successo di La bergère chatelaine, un'opera in tre atti.
