L'enfant et les sortilèges L'enfant et les sortilèges: Fantaisie lyrique en deux parties ("The Child and the Spells: A Lyric Fantasy in Two Parts") is an opera in one act, with music by Maurice Ravel to a libretto by Colette. It is Ravel's second opera, his first being "L'heure espagnole". Written from 1917 to 1925, "L'enfant et les sortilèges" was first performed in Monte Carlo in 1925 under the baton of Victor de Sabata.
Gloria (opera) Gloria is a tragic opera in three acts by Francesco Cilea with an Italian libretto by Arturo Colautti. A variation on the Romeo and Juliet story and set in 14th century Siena, the libretto is based on Victorien Sardou's 1874 play "La Haine" ("Hatred"). The opera premiered on 15 April 1907 at La Scala conducted by Arturo Toscanini with Salomea Krusceniski in the title role. "Gloria" was a failure at its premiere when it was withdrawn after two performances and fared little better in the 1932 revised version, although there have been two late 20th century revivals. It proved to be Cilea's last staged opera. In the 43 years following the premiere of "Gloria" he worked on two or three further operas which were never performed and continued to compose chamber and orchestral music.
