Ch rubin is an opera (com die chant e) in three acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Francis de Croisset and Henri Cain after de Croisset's play of the same name. It was first performed at the Op ra de Monte-Carlo on 14 February 1905, with Mary Garden in the title role. The story is a light-hearted addition to Beaumarchais' Figaro plays, the action taking place soon after that of The Marriage of Figaro, and imagines festivities in celebration of Ch rubin's first military commission and seventeenth birthday. A farcical romp ensues, brought on by Ch rubin lusting after each of the female characters and inspiring general confusion. This is a new reprint from a 1905 copy, the print quality in some pages are not the best, but legible. Hard to find.

Don Quichotte (Don Quixote) is an opera in five acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Henri Ca n. It was first performed on 19 February 1910 at the Op ra de Monte-Carlo. Massenet's com die-h ro que, like so many other dramatized versions of the story of Don Quixote, relates only indirectly to the great novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. The immediate inspiration was Le chevalier de la longue figure, a play by the poet Jacques Le Lorrain (fr) first performed in Paris in 1904. In this version of the story, the simple farm girl Aldonza (Dulcinea) of the original novel becomes the more sophisticated Dulcin e, a flirtatious local beauty inspiring the infatuated old man's exploits.

A few days after the death of Massenet, Pierre Lafitte published the memoirs of the composer in a text entitled Mes Souvenirs. Based on new sources, this book aims to correct and clarify certain points of contention surrounding Massenet's memoirs. It also argues that the composer himself wrote Mes Souvenirs -- or at least largely supervised its publication. French description: Quelques jours apres la mort de Massenet, survenue le 13 aout 1912, l'editeur Pierre Lafitte fait paraitre les Memoires du compositeur, intitules Mes souvenirs. Massenet y retrace les grandes etapes de sa carriere artistique et les principaux evenements qui ont marque son existence: de sa formation a la creation de ses oeuvres majeures, l'auteur adule de Manon nous livre le portrait d'un artiste prolifique, couvert de gloire et temoin de profonds bouleversements artistiques. Il se montre cependant souvent complaisant et jette un voile pudique sur les echecs, cabales ou critiques qu'il dut affronter, sa musique, loin de faire l'unanimite, suscitant des passions encore plus ou moins vives aujourd'hui. Aussi Mes souvenirs furent-ils rapidement consideres comme un texte apocryphe et donc peu fiable. En se fondant sur de nouvelles sources, le present ouvrage rectifie ou precise certains points. Il apporte egalement la preuve que le compositeur a bien lui-meme ecrit son texte - ou du moins largement supervise leur publication - en adoptant un style a la fois nostalgique et mondain en phase avec celui de nombreux ouvrages similaires et publies a la meme epoque. Les articles, reponses aux enquetes et discours du compositeur, jusqu'a present disperses et souvent meconnus, completent ce volume qui permet de mieux saisir la personnalite humaine et artistique d'un acteur important de l'histoire du theatre lyrique.

M. Ferri re, a harsh, severe looking man-he was one of the upper employees-came out to call the candidates by flinging their names into the crowd of relatives and friends that accompanied them. It was like summoning the condemned to execution. Then he gave each candidate the number of his turn before the jury which had already assembled in the rooms where the sessions were held. This room was intended for examinations and was a sort of small theater with a row of boxes and a circular gallery in the Consulate style. I confess that I have never entered that room without feeling emotion. I have always fancied that I saw, seated opposite in a first-tier box, as in a black hole, Bonaparte, the First Consul, and Josephine, the sweet companion of his early years.

The story of Manon Lescaut has become part of the European imagination: she is the fun-loving woman who is irresistible to men. Of Massenet’s many operas, she inspired the most popular one, and this libretto shows his minute attention to detail in bringing the character and the period to life. This guide opens with a general survey of Massenet’s career by the musicologist Gérard Condé, and includes two essays about this particular opera. Professor Hugh Macdonald explores the interplay of speech and song in Manon and Massenet’s genius for comedy. Professor Vivienne Mylne traces the sources and context of Prévost’s novel. Contents: Massenet, Gerard Conde; A Musical Synopsis, Hugh Macdonald; Prevost and ‘Manon Lescaut’, Vivienne Mylne; Manon: Libretto by Henri Meilhac and Philippe Gille; Manon: English version by Edmund Tracey
