The Visual Aspects of Le Mage
The visual aspects of Le Mage Michela Niccolai The first part of Massenet’s career was marked by the composition of several grand operas: Le Roi de Lahore (1877), Hérodiade (1881), Le Cid (1885) and Le Mage (1891). The latter , produced at the Paris Opéra, directed at that time by Ritt and Gailhard, was lavishly staged and the number of costumes was extraordinary. Even so, it remained on the bill, between spring and autumn 1891, for just thirty-one performances, from the première on 16 March. The new work was not received with great enthusiasm in the press. Henry Moreno (pen name of the publisher Henri Heugel) reported in the columns of Le Ménestre l: Pointless cliché: that is what characterises Le Mage . [...] Monsieur Massenet is obviously in a difficult period, in which he is no longer able to see clear - ly the path he had been following so successfully since the beginning. Like his hero Zarastra, he is badly in need of a spell of contemplation. He would do well to withdraw to the holy mountain to consider the dangers of over- hasty production, and then return to us stronger, fortified, ready to take on new challenges. (Henri Moreno, ‘Semaine Théâtrale, Le Mage ’, Le Ménestrel , 22 March 1891, no 12, p. 92.) Even among those close to Massenet, some appear to have been disap - pointed in their expectations of Le Mage . His friend and pupil Gustave Charpentier wrote to his father from Paris on 18 March 1891: 69 jules massenet: le mage The day before yesterday I attended the première of Le Mage (by Massenet).
