'Quelque peu théâtral': The Operatic Coronation of Charles X
The intersection of politics and spectacle has a long tradition in French history, from Louis XIV9s Versailles to the streets of revolutionary Paris. As a result, Chateaubriand9s criticism of the coronation
 of Charles X in May 1825 as theatrical may at first seem unremarkable. His description of the occasion as a dramatic performance rather than a real event, however, deserves closer examination. In line with
 Chateaubriand, this article suggests that the anachronistic final Bourbon coronation can best be understood, at the most literal level, as an opera, with music, resplendent costumes, dashes of orientalism
 (the envoy for the Bey of Tunis provoked much interest), hired claqueurs , and the whole of Rheims turned into a stage set. Conversely, the coronation9s reliance on operatic props and aesthetics can
 shed light on the dramatic crisis that led to the appearance of grand opeera. The largest piece written to celebrate the coronation, the multianchored Pharamond , was performed at the Paris
 Opeera, but failed to command either critical or popular acclaim, in contrast with Rossini9s Il viaggio a Reims at the Theeââtre Italien. Yet Pharamond9s troubled negotiation
 between the demands of historical drama and celebratory Pieece de circonstance mirrors the logic that underpinned the planning of the coronation: a desire to invoke the authority of French
 history while bypassing unresolved memories of the Revolution and the Empire. Ultimately, the failure of Pharamond and its selective appropriation of history offer a productive mode for understanding
 the connections between opera, ceremonial language, and historical precedent, as well as those between musical works and large-scale political events.
