Regardez moi, voyons... J'aime la couleur de vos yeux... - Comment vous appelez vous ? - Jean. - Jean tout court ? - Jean GAUSSIN. - Du Midi, j'entends ça... Quel âge ? - Vingt et un ans. - Artiste ? - Non, madame. - Ah ! tant mieux... Ces bouts de phrases, presque inintelligibles au milieu des cris, des rires, des airs de danse d'une fête travestie, s'échangeaient - une nuit de juin - entre un PIFFERARO et une femme fellah dans la serre de palmiers, de fougères arborescentes, qui faisait le fond de l'atelier de Déchelette.

New in Paperback! This book supplies a soprano with nearly everything she may need to perform the operatic arias discussed. The 28 arias included are chosen from among those that are more popular and most widely studied and performed. There are descriptions of stage settings, with costume sketches by famed theatrical designer Leo Van Witsen. The heart of each discussion is a detailed descriptions of the sections of the area. While the scenic design may change from one production to another, the suggestions given for dramatic motivations, character building, and stage movement can be readily adapted for use in any theatrical environment. Although it is not intended that these arias be acted out on the concert stage, much of the information—the dramatic analysis, discussions of vocal and musical aspects, matters of style and tradition, and translations of the texts—should be profitable for students of singing and stage direction, as well as professional opera singers, no matter how or where the arias are performed. Paperback edition available June 2001. Cloth edition previously published in 1990.

Pierre et Jean marked a turning point in the development of French fiction, situated as it is between traditional social realism and the pyschological novel. It is recognized as a classic study of filial jealousy and is also notable for its evocation of the Normandy coastline captured by the Impressionists.

A libretto is an indispensable part of an opera as a musical genre: with few exceptions, operas have been the subject of musicological studies, and instrumental versions of sung or unsung opera numbers may be heard, but we never listen to libretto texts being performed without the music. Thus as a literary form the libretto is a highly specific genre with its own particular attributes. This volume offers an approach to the libretto through the discussion of these attributes in many different examples. It explores what may be expected of a librettist in response to the demands of the genre’s characteristics, his trials and tribulations, his exchanges with the composer while adapting or converting a source, almost always a literary source, into the eventual libretto, and about the different musical ways of dealing with the text. In this way the volume clarifies the fundamental differences between the libretto and other literary genres.
