A sailor and his wife are having a very special reunion after 15 long years of separation. What could be more joyful? Not so fast. The sailor returns home incognito and decides to test his wife by posing as her husband's wealthy friend. Her husband, he claims, is poor and haunted by his creditors. Eager for her husband's return, she decides on a plan to welcome him back. 
Darius Milhaud's short opera is based on a libretto by Jean Cocteau, whose masterful storytelling combines elements of classical Greek drama, fairytale, and satire. No spoiler alert: Expect the unexpected.

The composer Darius Milhaud was born in 1892. He studied under Dukas, Widor, and Leroux. Many of his formative years were spent abroad. He spent two years in South America as secretary to Claudel, French Minsiter to Brazil. A visit to London in 1920 exposed him to Bily Arnold, and two years later he toured the U.S. The influence of Jazz was a constant presence in his output. Later on, his travels included visits to Russia, Syria, Sardinia, and Spain. Milhaud excelled in short forms, and put forth a series of chamber operas, of which Le pauvre matelot  is an exemplar. The very short chamber symphonies are companions and contemporaries to the operas. Like Pergolesi, he was at the forefront of musical taste, and the legacies of both composers shaped musical invention for generations.
