Offenbach Et L'opéra-Comique
Offenbach et l’opéra-comique Lionel Pons avril 2017 Les rapports de Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) avec le genre opéra-comique relèvent, tout au long de la vie créatrice du compositeur, d’un paradoxe amoureux. La culture lyrique d’Offenbach, son expérience en tant que violoncelliste dans l’orchestre de l’Opéra-Comique, son goût personnel pour ce genre si français, qui ne dissimule pas sa dette envers le dernier tiers du XVIIIe siècle vont nécessairement le pousser à s’intéresser au genre. Le répertoire de François Adrien Boieldieu (1775-1834), de Ferdinand Hérold (1791-1833), de Nicolò Isouard (1773-1818) lui est tout à fait familier, et quoique d’un esprit particulièrement mordant, il en apprécie le caractère sentimental et la délicatesse de touche. Et presque naturellement, il développe pourtant une conscience claire de ce que réclame impérativement la survie du genre. Offenbach sauveteur de l’opéra-comique ? L’opéra-comique, tel qu’Offenbach le découvre en ce début de XIXe siècle, est l’héritier direct des ouvrages d’André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741-1813), de Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny (1729-1817) ou de Nicolas Dalayrac (1753-1809). Le genre est le fruit d’une période transitionnelle (il occupe dans le répertoire français la place chronologique du classicisme viennois outre Rhin, entre le crépuscule baroque et l’affirmation du romantisme), et reflète assez logiquement le goût de l’époque pour une forme de sentimentalité, sensible en France dans toutes les disciplines artistiques entre 1760 et 1789. Les gravures de Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805), l’architecture du Hameau de Marie-Antoinette (1783-1876), due à Richard Mique (1728-1794), l’orientation morale de L’autre Tartuffe ou la mère coupable (1792) de Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799), La nouvelle Héloïse (1761) de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) ou Paul et Virginie (1787) d’Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737-1814) portent témoignage de cette tendance esthétique. -

2018 04 21 Houghton Symphony Orchestra
Welcome to La vie est belle —“Life is beautiful!” Tonight we celebrate fun, love, joy, friendship, and laughter, and do so the French way. The first half of our program will feature our stunning vocal faculty at the Greatbatch School of Music. Though all of the pieces feature French text, the settings for these opera numbers span the globe with scenes taking place in Spain (Carmen), France (La fille du regiment), India (Lakmé), Germany (Les contes d’Hoffmann), and Sri Lanka (Les pêcheurs de perles). All of these pieces come from the best of the French opera tradition and are sure to leave you wanting more! The second half of the concert will feature Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem, a gem of the 20th century choral-orchestral repertoire. Duruflé’s work was inspired in large part by his predecessor, Gabriel Fauré, another French composer who completed his own Requiem just over 50 years earlier. Duruflé’s work mirrors Fauré’s in many ways including its structure, choice of text, and performing forces. He uses harmonic language that was modern for its time, but infuses it with the ancient liturgical music of Gregorian chant. The work is not in the strata of requiems more casual concert-goers may know such as those of Mozart, Verdi, and Fauré, but for that reason I suspect you will be surprised and delighted by what you hear tonight, perhaps for the first time. I think it contains some of the most beautiful, affective, dramatic, and meaningful music I know. I decided to pair vocal pieces celebrating life with Duruflé’s Requiem— ostensibly a work about death—because the latter is something quite different than more traditional works from the genre of the same name. -

Regent’s Park Theatre and English National Opera present £4 music by BENJAMIN BRITTEN libretto by MYFANWY PIPER after a story by HENRY JAMES Photo David Jensen Developing new creative partnerships enables us to push the boundaries of our artistic programming. We are excited to be working with Daniel Kramer and his team at English National Opera to present this new production of The Turn of the Screw. Some of our Open Air Theatre audience may be experiencing opera for the first time – and we hope that you will continue that journey of discovery with English National Opera in the future; opera audiences intrigued to see this work here, may in turn discover the unique possibilities of theatre outdoors.
