Compte tenu de l'aspect lacunaire du versement, ce fonds ne saurait être le fidèle reflet d'une programmation exhaustive de l'Opéra-Comique mais retrace toutefois par ses programmes, livrets, conduites de spectacles et revues de presse des moments forts de la scène de l'Opéra-Comique au cours de cette seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Langue des documents • Français Institution responsable de l'accès intellectuel Archives nationales HISTORIQUE DU PRODUCTEUR L'Opéra Comique est créé sous le règne de Louis XIV, en 1714. Il s'agit de l'une des plus anciennes institutions théâtrales et musicales de France avec l'Opéra de Paris (anciennement Académie royale de musique) et la Comédie- Française. A partir de 1783, l'Opéra Comique présente ses saisons dans un théâtre qui a pris le nom d'un fameux auteur de livrets, Charles-Simon Favart. Par deux fois, en 1838 et 1887, la salle Favart brûle puis est reconstruite sur le même terrain Inaugurée le 7 décembre 1898, la troisième salle fut reconstruite, à l'emplacement où se trouve encore 3 Archives nationales (France) aujourd'hui le théâtre national de l'Opéra-Comique, place Boieldieu dans le 2e arrondissement de Paris, par l'architecte Louis Bernier avec une riche statuaire. Les difficultés financières du théâtre dans les années 1930 entraînent l'intervention de l'Etat qui, le 13 août 1936, rapproche par décret l'Opéra-Comique du théâtre national de l' Opéra pour former la Réunion des théâtres lyriques nationaux (RTLN). Le 17 janvier 1939, la nouvelle structure devient un établissement public à part entière, placée sous l'égide du ministère de l'Education nationale. Après une première fermeture en 1971, l'Opéra-Comique cesse son activité le 30 novembre 1972 pour devenir de 1974 à 1978, un lieu de formation pour les jeunes chanteurs sous le nom d'Opéra-Studio créé par Rolf Liebermann et avec Louis Erlo comme directeur. La Réunion des théâtres lyriques nationaux est dissoute le 7 février 1978 au profit d'une nouvelle structure : le Théâtre national de l'Opéra. La salle Favart devient alors la seconde salle de spectacle de l'Opéra et c'est dans ce contexte qu'a lieu la recréation d'Atys de Lully par William Christie et Jean-Marie Villégier en 1987. La salle Favart recouvre son indépendance en 1990 sous forme d'une association loi de 1901 et est successivement dirigée par Thierry Fouquet (1989-1994), Pierre Médecin (1994-2000) et Jérôme Savary (2000-2007). Par décret n° 2004-132 du 20 novembre 2004, le théâtre national de l'Opéra-Comique devient, à compter du 1er janvier 2005, un établissement public à caractère industriel et commercial (EPIC), placé sous la tutelle du ministre chargé de la culture. Il a pour mission d'assurer, en direction du public le plus large, la production et la diffusion d'oeuvres lyriques et de spectacles et de mettre en valeur la diversité des expressions, de l'opéra baroque à la création contemporaine et le patrimoine de l'Opéra-Comique. Depuis le 27 juin 2007, l'Opéra-Comique est dirigé par Jérôme Deschamps. ENTREE ET CONSERVATION Modalités d'entrée Versement 09V08 du 9 janvier 2008 Historique de la conservation Ce fonds a été récupéré à la Bibliothèque - musée de l'Opéra Garnier.

JACQUES OFFENBACH : HIS CENTENARY By MARTIAL TENEO O N June the 20th, 1819, at Cologne, in the Glockengasse (now only a memory), was born Jacques Offenbach,whose renown, forty years later, was to overspreadthe world. To rehabilitate such an artist, still held in contempt at the present day by our musical "scientists," to restore him to his rightful place on the occasion of the centennial of his birth, is a task worthy of an unbiassed historian.

  • Opera 101 – an Introduction to Opera
    OPERA 101 – AN INTRODUCTION TO OPERA A Syllabus for March-April 2021 Loving Opera Thursdays, March 11, 18, 25, and April 1; 10:00 - 11:30am Opera has always been intended as a glorious entertainment - one that beguiles all the senses. If you’ve ever been tempted to find out what opera’s attractions are, but have been put off by seemingly incomprehensible conventions, then this is the course for you. Focusing on the operas of the late 18th, the 19th, and the early 20th centuries, members will discover together those elements that continue to attract opera audiences who love a great tale well told, thrilling sound, the dance, passions on display, and the arts working together to move the heart and lift the spirit. I, Steve Dubrow ([email protected]), have been a devotee of opera since my childhood, attending, over the years, many hundreds of opera and vocal recital performances in the U.S. and Europe and maintaining an extensive CD collection focused on the classical vocal arts. Having graduated summa cum laude from Columbia, I did graduate work in Romance Languages and Literatures at Princeton and taught French at Brown University. A specialist in press and cultural affairs, I served for 25 years as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer, worKing in Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Congo, Poland, Belgium, France, Austria, and – of course – in Washington, DC. I retired in 1998 as a member of the Senior Foreign Service. From 2000 until 2019, I taught world languages (French, Latin, Spanish, Italian) in high school in Montgomery County, MD, where I became a National Board Certified Teacher.
