Ricordi & C. in Milan as applied to Giacomo Puccini's third opera and first popular success, Manon Lescaut (1893).1 In his letters the composer called it a "youthful" work with "some defects" and referred to his repeated efforts to "stabilize" the score.2 Therefore, as will be demonstrated, this oft-revised music provides typical examples of the editorial difficulties surrounding the twelve Puccini operas published by the Ricordi firm.3 Given the obvious limitations of this study, further research dedicated to the other operas is needed to construct a more exhaustive argument.4 However, some of the basic problems of editing these operas are examined in detail here.

  • L'abbé Prévost : Entre L'ancien Régime Et Les Lumières
    Elisabeth Ruelens Master in de taal-en letterkunde L’abbé Prévost : entre l’Ancien Régime et les Lumières Analyse des structures socio-politiques, des dogmes religieux et du rôle de l’argent dans Manon Lescaut et Histoire d’une Grecque moderne - Universiteit Gent Faculteit Letteren en Wijsbegeerte Vakgroep letterkunde 2016-2017 Promotor: Prof. Dr. Alexander Roose Masterproef voorgelegd tot het behalen van de graad van Master in de taal-en letterkunde: Frans - Spaans. 1 Avant-propos Avant de présenter mon mémoire, j’aimerais remercier quelques personnes. Premièrement je voudrais remercier professeur Alexander Roose pour son aide et ses conseils. Son enthousiasme et sa passion pour la littérature ont toujours été une source d’inspiration pour moi. Ensuite, je voudrais remercier mes parents, avec qui je peux toujours partager mes joies et mes craintes, mon frère Egmont et mes deux sœurs Sieglinde et Isolde pour leur patience et leur amour inconditionnel. Finalement, je voudrais encore remercier Lize de Putter et Louise Vercruysse, mes amies et camarades de classe qui étaient toujours à mes côtés, tout au long du trajet. Merci. 2 Résumé Ce mémoire est une analyse sociocritique des œuvres littéraires Manon Lescaut (1731) et Histoire d’une Grecque moderne (1740) d’Antoine-François Prévost d’Exiles, dit l’abbé Prévost. Le but de la recherche est d’examiner dans les deux œuvres, d’un côté, les aspects de la réalité sociale, économique et religieuse de l’Ancien Régime contre lesquels Prévost s’insurge et, de l’autre côté, de dévoiler les idées des Lumières desquelles il se rapproche. La recherche montre notamment que Prévost s’opposait à l’ordre social de l’Ancien Régime, à l’inégalité entre les hommes et les femmes et au pouvoir central.

  • Auber's Manon Lescaut Shines Musically in Liège
    Auber’s Manon Lescaut shines musically in Liège April 25, 2016 Laura Roling Performance reviews 0 In 1856, long before either Massenet or Puccini composed their ‘Manon operas’, Auber composed a Manon Lescaut. This unfamiliar Manon was put on stage for five performances only by the Opéra Royal de Wallonie. The result was a unique and musically extremely satisfying production. Even though he was quite successful in his day and composed as many as 48 operas, Auber and his operas have slipped into obscurity. Some may have heard of his opera La Muette de Portici in relation to the Belgian revolution, but that’s generally about it. ‘Manon’ by Auber and Scribe Auber’s librettist Eugène Scribe adapted Prévost’s novel rather freely. His Manon is tempted by luxury, but barely gives in to it. Much stronger is her love for Des Grieux, to whom she is faithful during the entire opera. The character of Des Grieux disappears into the background, and there are no protracted love duets or scenes between the two lovers that really help to convince the audience of their love. Furthermore, Scribe and Auber elaborate the role of the Marquis d’Hérigny, a character absent from other ‘Manon operas’. This Marquis functions in the plot as a type of Scarpia. He has taken a fancy to Manon and makes sure that Des Grieux’ fate is in his hands. In order to save Des Grieux, Manon has to promise never to see her lover again and live with the Marquis in luxury. As Manon is admiring the luxuries of the Marquis’ home, Des Grieux comes in and asks Manon to flee with him immediately.
