Les caprices de Marianne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Les caprices de Marianne is a two-act opéra comique by Henri Sauguet with a French libretto by Jean-Pierre Gredy after the 1833 play The Moods of Marianne by Alfred de Musset. It was first performed at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 1954,[1] with the Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire conducted by Louis de Froment with the Chorale Élisabeth Brasseur.
The opera was broadcast on French radio ten days after the premiere,[2] performed at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in 1956, with Graziella Sciutti, Jacques Jansen and Michel Sénéchal, and was recorded in 1959 (conducted by Manuel Rosenthal).[3] More recently, the opera has been staged by Compiègne (2006) and Dijon (2007).
