Véronique (operetta)
''Véronique'' is an opéra comique in three acts with music by André Messager and words by Georges Duval (journalist), Georges Duval and Albert Vanloo. The opera, set in 1840 Paris, depicts a dashing but irresponsible aristocrat with complicated romantic affairs, eventually paired with the resourceful heroine. ''Véronique'' is Messager’s most enduring operatic work. After its successful premiere in Paris in 1898, it was produced across continental Europe, Britain, the US and Australia. It remains part of the operatic repertoire in France. Background and first production After a fallow period in the mid-1890s, Messager had an international success with ''Les p'tites Michu'' (1897). In 1898 his improved fortunes continued when he was appointed musical director of the Opéra-Comique in Paris. His work as a conductor left him little time for composition, and ''Véronique'' was his last stage work for seven years, despite its being his most successful work thus far.Wagstaff, Joh ...
