    Offenbach, Peter Gammond, Omnibus Press, 1980, 0711902577, 9780711902572, 168 pages. Jacques Offenbach will always be associated with music which is tuneful, but frivolous. Yet he was also a serious writer and composers from Lehar to Gershwin are indebted to him for the impetus which he gave to musical comedy. Much of his work satirised the socialites of the glittering Second Empire in Paris. Nevertheless, they adored him and his music. Although he was an untiring worker, he also led a glamorous life. Peter Gammond gives a highly readable account of Offenbach's life and his musical achievements.

Il a permis la mise en place d’un pôle culturel cohérent qui, aujourd’hui, propose une programmation de qualité. Toujours acquise à l’opérette et au théâtre de boulevard, mais aussi à la danse, la scène de l’Odéon accueillera les plus grands artistes du moment. 3 Je suis fier que Marseille, seule, propose encore une saison d’opérettes de haut niveau à travers de grands livrets comme « Le Chanteur de Mexico », « La Vie parisienne », « Valses de Vienne », ou encore « La Fille du Tambour-Major », c’est-à-dire près de huit œuvres de premier choix. L’Odéon a su rester, aussi, un lieu fétiche pour l’accueil d’un théâtre de divertissement avec de grands acteurs, tels que Pierre Arditi, François Berléand, Chantal Ladesou, Clémentine Célarié, Alexandre Brasseur, Davy Sardou. D’autant qu’ils viennent ici porter les textes d’auteurs de renom, de Sacha Guitry à Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt ou Laurent Ruquier... Je tiens aussi à saluer l’ouverture vers la jeunesse, très présente cette année, avec notamment le ballet de l’Opéra Grand Avignon qui donnera « Cendrillon » et la comédie musicale « Hänsel et Gretel ».

  • Anna Netrebko, Piotr Beczala Og Paulo Szot
    Manon Composer: Jules Massenet Librettist: Henri Meilhac and Philippe Gille Starring: Anna Netrebko, Piotr Beczala og Paulo Szot Act I France, the end of the 19th century. In the courtyard of an inn at Amiens the noblemen de Brétigny and Guillot de Morfontaine are having dinner with three young women, Poussette, Javotte, and Rosette. People gather for the arrival of the coach to Paris, among them Lescaut. He is waiting for his young cousin Manon, who is on her way to enter a convent. The coach arrives and Manon expresses her exuberant joy about her first journey away from home. Enchanted by her, Guillot offers to take Manon to Paris, but she and his companions laugh at him. Lescaut reproaches Manon for her behavior that could shame their family. Manon gazes with envy at the elegant clothes of the other girls. The young Chevalier des Grieux arrives too late to catch the coach, which has already left for Paris. He falls in love with Manon at first sight, and when she tells him that it is her fondness for pleasure that has led her family to send her to a convent, he is determined to rescue her from such a fate. They escape together in Guillot’s coach. The returning Lescaut furiously accuses Guillot of having kidnapped his cousin, but then learns from the innkeeper that Manon went off with a young man. Guillot, mocked by everyone, swears revenge on the eloping couple. Act II In their apartment in Paris, des Grieux writes to his father for permission to marry Manon.
