L'attaque du moulin


L'attaque du moulin ("The Attack on the Mill") is a "drame lyrique" (opera) in four acts by the French composer Alfred Bruneau. The libretto, by Louis Gallet with the collaboration of Émile Zola, is based on a short story by Zola (included in the collection "Les soirées de Médan"). Zola's story is about the Franco-Prussian War, but the setting of the opera was changed to the period of the French Revolution. "L'attaque du moulin" was first performed
