THE Cour. DEs MIRACLEs.—Sunset. As the curtain rises the stage is seen thronged with Truands. Their monarch, Clopin, is seated upon a barrel, and presides over the wild and unruly assem bly. Whilst the mad gaiety is at its height, the poet, Pierre Gringoire, rushes to the feet of Clopin, pursued by a party of marauding Truands, who have been out in search of plunder. Clopin bids him rise, but the miserable bard casts only a terror-stricken look around him and shrinks to the earth, when he perceives that he is in the terrible Cour des Miracles. The savage Truands cast themselves on him with the purpose of robbing him. Pierre has nothing about him but a much loved poem, which the Truands by no means value at the poet's estimate of its excel 6 lence, and Clopin, indignant at the disappointment, sentences him to be hanged. In vain the unhappy bard prays for pity. His anguish provokes laughter alone, when the king re cals a law which permits any woman who chooses to marry him to respite the sentence. He calls forward his female subjects; they examine the poet, and unani mously reject him. Mad with fear, the desperate poet casts himself at the feet of the ladies of Clo pin's court. He prays in vain, but at that very mo ment a stifled clamour announces the approach. of" Esmeralda. The influence exercised over the Truands by the beauty of the young daughter of Egypt, stills the excitement of the troubled throng. Bounding lightly amongst the crowd, she passes before Grin goire, and at once comprehends the meaning of his agony. Touched with the natural pity of her cha racter, she consents to wed him. Transports of im moderate joy succeed to the profound terror of the poet. They bring an earthen pot which Esmeralda presents to Gringoire, bidding him cast it on the earth. He does so, and as it shatters into fragments Clopin bestows his benediction upon the young Bo hemian and her husband, who mingle in the dances and sports, with which the Truands celebrate the new marriage. The sound of the curfew breaks upon the general 7 joy, and the crowd suddenly disperse. During the latter part of the dance, Claude Frollo, wrapped in a large mantle, has been watching the Esmeralda, who has shrunk from him every time that she has encoun tered his glance. He calls Clopin Trouillefou, and tells him that he is passionately in love with the young Truand, and that she must be his that night Clopin consents, and informs him that she is about to pass through the Cour des Miracles. Frollo sum mons Quasimodo, and they conceal themselves close to the sport. A gentle footstep is heard near, Esme ralda appears, and Claude springs upon his prey. As the Bohemian struggles with Claude and Quasimodo, the march of the Patronelle Guard is heard. Phoebus enters at the head of his troop, Frollo escapes, and Quasimodo is seized by the archers. Freed from her fear, the young Egyptian approaches Phoebus, and gazes on him with a curious admiration. Struck by the beauty of the girl, the Captain questions her, and learns that she is alone in the world, and has never known the tender care of a mother; while engaged in the recital she plays with the end of the scarf he wears. Phoebus gives it to her, as she receives it, her eye is attracted by the unfortunate Quasimodo, who also, after a hard struggle, is in the power of the archers. She intercedes for him, and seeing him panting and ready to faint, takes a gourd from her 8 girdle, and gives him to drink. Phoebus, at her in tercession, bids them release the hunchback, who re tires slowly with his gaze still rivetted upon his young benefactress. But the soldier now makes Esmeralda understand that he requires a kiss as a recompence for his submission to her wishes.

Ce fait, le voici: on assassine un peuple. Où? En Europe. Ce fait a-t-il des témoins? Un témoin, le monde entier. Les gouvernements le voient-ils? Non. Les nations ont au-dessus d'elles quelque chose qui est au-dessous d'elles les gouvernements. A de certains moments, ce contre-sens éclate: la civilisation est dans les peuples, la barbarie est dans les gouvernants. Cette barbarie est-elle voulue? Non; elle est simplement professionnelle. Ce que le genre humain sait, les gouvernements l'ignorent. Cela tient à ce que les gouvernements ne voient rien qu'à travers cette myopie, la raison d'état; le genre humain regarde avec un autre oeil, la conscience. Nous allons étonner les gouvernements européens en leur apprenant une chose, c'est que les crimes sont des crimes, c'est qu'il n'est pas plus permis à un gouvernement qu'à un individu d'être un assassin, c'est que l'Europe est solidaire, c'est que tout ce qui se fait en Europe est fait par l'Europe, c'est que, s'il existe un gouvernement bête fauve, il doit être traité en bête fauve; c'est qu'à l'heure qu'il est, tout près de nous, là, sous nos yeux, on massacre, on incendie, on pille, on extermine,

  • Audition Pack
    AUDITION PACK Please read all instructions carefully 1 ABOUT ‘HUNCHBACK’ What makes a monster and what makes a man? This is the central theme of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a sweeping, grand-scale musical from Disney Theatrical. Based on the 1996 Disney film and Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame tells the story of Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bell-ringer of Notre Dame, and his desire to one day be a part of the outside world. When he summons the courage to attend the Feast of Fools, he meets Esmeralda, a compassionate gypsy who protects him from an angry mob. But at the same time, Quasimodo’s master, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, and the new captain of the guard, Phoebus de Martin, fall in love with the beautiful girl. Adding to Quasimodo’s struggle is his punishment and derision from Frollo, following years of psychological abuse, and the danger posed by the gypsies, who are willing to kill any outsiders who venture into their secret hideout. But before Paris is burned to the ground, will Quasimodo be able to save Esmeralda from Frollo’s lust and anger? Will she return Quasimodo’s affection? Who is the true monster of Notre Dame?

  • Resituating Transatlantic Opera: the Case of the Théâtre D'orléans, New
    Resituating Transatlantic Opera: The Case of the Théâtre d’Orléans, New Orleans, 1819–1859 Charlotte Alice Bentley Emmanuel College October 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT This thesis examines the production and reception of French opera in New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, through a focus on the city’s principal French-language theatre from 1819 to 1859, the Théâtre d’Orléans. Building on the small body of existing scholarship concerning the theatre’s history and repertoire, here I draw upon a greatly expanded range of sources—including court cases, sheet music, and novels—in order to understand more about the ways in which operatic culture shaped and was shaped by city life in this period. New Orleans’s operatic life relied on transatlantic networks of people and materials in order to thrive, and this thesis explores the city’s place within growing global operatic systems in the nineteenth century. The five chapters each reflect on different aspects of operatic translocation and its significance for New Orleans. The first two argue for the centrality of human agency to the development of transatlantic networks of production and performance by examining the management of the theatre and the international movement of singers in turn. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of French grand opéra on New Orleans, arguing that the genre provided a focus for the negotiation of local, national, and international identities among opposing critical (and linguistic) factions within the city, while also providing an impetus for the development of a material culture of opera.
