Grisélidis Massenet

A conte lyrique in three acts and a prologue, first performed at the Opéra-Comique in Paris on 20 November 1901. Based on Grisélidis, a play by Armand Silvestre and Eugène Morand.

Inspired by a twelfth-century legend, adapted in 1891 for the Comédie-Française by Armand Silvestre and Eugène Morand, Grisélidis tells the story of Grisélidis, the loyal wife of the Marquis de Saluce, who has gone off to wage war in the Holy Land. Although the Devil puts her loyalty to the test, causing her former lover, Alain, to appear to her, the virtuous wife does not yield to temptation, drawing strength from her role as a devoted mother. Massenet’s opera, written for the Opéra-Comique in Paris, was completed in 1894 but, since he was busy working on Cendrillon and Sapho at that time, it did not reach the stage until 1901. However, audiences were rewarded for their long wait with a splendid performance, ingeniously staged by Albert Carré. The composer deftly handles the juxtaposition of religious, lyrical and comic registers.

English

Conte lyrique in tre atti e un prologo, da Grisélidis di Armand Silvestre e Eugène Morand, rappresentata per la prima volta all’Opéra-Comique a Parigi il 20 novembre 1901.

Ispirata a una leggenda del XII secolo, adattata nel 1891 per la Comédie-Française da Armand Silvestre e Eugène Morand, la trama di Grisélidis mette in scena la sposa di un cavaliere partito per combattere in Terrasanta. Il Diavolo ne mette la prova la fedeltà facendo apparire il suo antico amante, ma per amore del suo bambino la sposa virtuosa, che è anche una madre devota, non cede alla tentazione. Destinata all’Opéra-Comique di Parigi, l’opera di Massenet è terminata nel 1894, ma non viene rappresentata prima del 1901; in quel periodo il compositore si sta infatti dedicando a Cendrillon e Sapho. Tuttavia, lo splendido allestimento di Albert Carré, che si avvale di costumi meravigliosi, ripaga dell’attesa gli spettatori. Questo grande spettacolo è messo al servizio di una partitura che tratta l’epoca medievale giocando su registri contrastanti: il religioso, il fantastico, la semplicità, il comico e il sublime.

italiano

Conte lyrique en 3 actes et 1 prologue de Jules Massenet, créé à l’Opéra-Comique (Paris) le 20 novembre 1901. D’après Grisélidis d’Armand Silvestre et Eugène Morand.

Inspirée d’une légende du XIIe siècle, adaptée en 1891 pour la Comédie-Française par Armand Silvestre et Eugène Morand, l’intrigue de Grisélidis met en scène l’épouse d’un chevalier parti guerroyer en Terre sainte. Alors que le Diable met à l’épreuve sa fidélité en faisant apparaître son ancien amant, l’épouse vertueuse se double d’une mère dévouée pour ne pas succomber à la tentation. Destiné à l’Opéra-Comique de Paris, l’opéra de Massenet est achevé en 1894, mais ne connaît la scène qu’en 1901 – Cendrillon et Sapho occupent alors le compositeur. Sa splendide création – avec une mise en scène d’Albert Carré et des costumes resplendissants – console cependant les spectateurs de leur attente. Ce grand spectacle est mis au service d’une partition qui aborde la période médiévale en jouant sur des registres contrastés : le religieux, le fantastique, la simplicité, le comique et le sublime.
