Riassunto

This is the first book-length study of the rich operatic repertory written and performed in France during the last two decades of the nineteenth century. Steven Huebner gives an accessible and colourful account of such operatic favourites as Manon and Werther by Massenet, Louise by Charpentier, and lesser-known gems such as Chabrier's Le Roi malgré lui and Chausson's Le Roi Arthus. For the first time opera lovers have available under a single cover a survey of a repertory profoundly influenced by the music of Richard Wagner.

Su questo libro

Recensione

His considerations on specific musical details are pertinent in themselves and convincingly related to larger-scale musical processes (Michael Downes, TLS)

Huebner's analysis steers an effective middle ground between excessive concentration between the narrative and myopic fascination with musical structure (Michael Downes, TLS)

a valuable contribution to this field [Wagner] (Michael Downes, TLS)
