Are both Savitri and Le devin du village considered operas?
Savitri (opera) Sāvitri is a chamber opera in one act with music composed by Gustav Holst, his Opus 25, to his own libretto. The story is based on the episode of Savitri and Satyavan from the "Mahābhārata", which was also included in "Specimens of Old Indian Poetry" (Ralph Griffiths) and "Idylls from the Sanskrit". The opera features three solo singers, a wordless female chorus, and a chamber orchestra of 12 musicians (consisting of 2 Flutes, a Cor Anglais, 2 String Quartets and a Double Bass). Holst had made at least six earlier attempts at composing opera before arriving at "Sāvitri".
La journée aux aventures La journée aux aventures ("The Day of Adventures") is an opera by the French composer Étienne Méhul. It takes the form of an "opéra comique" in three acts. It was first performed at the Opéra-Comique, Paris on 16 November 1816. The libretto is by Pierre-David-Augustin Chapelle and Louis Mezières-Miot. This was the last of the composer's works to be premiered in his lifetime and was a great success; it enjoyed 66 performances before the end of 1817 and helped remedy the financial problems of the Opéra-Comique. It was revived to acclaim in a German translation in Berlin in December 1839.
