La jolie fille de Perth


La jolie fille de Perth "(The Fair Maid of Perth)" is an opera in four acts by Georges Bizet (1838–1875), from a libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Jules Adenis, after the novel by Sir Walter Scott. Many writers have reserved severe criticism for the librettists for their stock devices and improbable events, while praising Bizet's advance on his earlier operas in construction of set pieces and his striking melodic and instrumental ideas. It was first performed at the Théâtre Lyrique (Théâtre

Although commissioned by Léon Carvalho in 1866 and completed by Bizet by the end of that year (with the soprano lead intended for Christine Nilsson), the dress rehearsal took place in September 1867 and the first performance three months later. It was next revived in Paris on 3 November 1890 at the Éden-Théâtre for eleven performances. "La jolie fille de Perth" was performed in Brussels in 1868 and Geneva in 1885; in German it was given

Berlioz, these composers were receptive to new musical influences. They also liked writing operas on literary themes. Gounod's "Faust" (1859), based on the drama by Goethe, became an enormous worldwide success. Gounod followed it with "Mireille" (1864), based on the Provençal epic by Frédéric Mistral, and the Shakespeare-inspired "Roméo et Juliette" (1867). Bizet offered the Théâtre Lyrique "Les pêcheurs de perles" (1863) and "La jolie fille de Perth", but

Bizet's professional relationship with Léon Carvalho, manager of the independent Théâtre Lyrique company, enabled him to bring to the stage two full-scale operas, "Les pêcheurs de perles" (1863) and "La jolie fille de Perth" (1867), but neither enjoyed much public success.

After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871, during which Bizet served in the National Guard, he had little success with his one-act opera "Djamileh", though an orchestral suite derived from his incidental music to Alphonse Daudet's play "L'Arlésienne" was instantly popular.

at the bidding of Léon Carvalho, director of the Théâtre Lyrique, Bizet started work on "La jolie fille de Perth", and "Ivan IV" was forgotten. Winton Dean floated a possible alternative chronology by suggesting that the surviving manuscript is an earlier abandoned version of "Ivan", forgotten by the composer, not that which was being copied for performance in the autumn of 1865. This theory would mean that Bizet composed "Ivan the Terrible" in late 1862 and early 1863 for performance in 1863 at the Baden
