Ninette (opera)
''Ninette'' is an opéra comique in three acts, with music by Charles Lecocq and words by Charles Clairville Jr, Eugène Hubert, G. Lebeaut and Ch. de Trogoff. It was first performed at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens, Paris, on 28 February 1896. The opera depicts the complicated but ultimately successful course of true love between two French couples in the reign of Louis XIII (reigned 1610–1643). The two leading characters, Cyrano de Bergerac and Ninon de Lenclos, are loosely based on historical figures. This fictionalisation of Cyrano preceded, and is quite different from, Cyrano de Bergerac (play), Edmond Rostand's well-known version, which was written the following year. Background and performance history In the 1870s Lecocq had supplanted Jacques Offenbach as Paris's favourite composer of comic operas, and had continued to enjoy frequent successes into the 1880s. After ''Le coeur et la main'' in 1882, success proved elusive. None of his nine subsequent operas had riva ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
