is an opera by the French composer Étienne Méhul. It takes the form of a ''drame lyrique'' (a type of ''opéra comique'') in three acts. The libretto, by Antoine Vincent Arnault, is loosely based on the myth of Hero and Leander. The work was first performed at the Théâtre Favart in Paris on 6 May 1794. It is an important example of early Romantic opera. Background and performance history Arnault derived his libretto from Gentil-Bernard's narrative poem ''Phrosine et Mélidore''. In his memoirs, he describes the trouble he had with the French Revolutionary censorship of the time. He submitted the libretto to the censor Jean-Baptiste Baudrais, who found "nothing innocent in it." Baudrais explained: "It's not enough...that a work is not against us, it must be for us. The spirit of your opera is not republican; the behaviour of your characters is not republican; the word 'liberty!' is not pronounced a single time. You must bring your opera in harmony with our institutions." For ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
