L'Enfant prodigue Debussy

L'enfant prodigue (The Prodigal Son) is a scène lyrique or cantata in one act by Claude Debussy with a text by Édouard Guinand.[1] The cantata premiered in Paris on June 27, 1884[2] as part of the Prix de Rome for composition competition which was awarded to Debussy with this piece by 22 out of 28 votes.[3] The prize win garnered Debussy a scholarship to the Académie des Beaux-Arts, which included a four-year residence at the Villa Medici, the French Academy in Rome, to further his studies (1885-1887).
The soloists at its first performance were Rose Caron (Lia), Ernest Van Dyck (Azaël), and Émile-Alexandre Taskin (Siméon).[3]
The later version of 1907 was reorchestrated with the help of André Caplet and the premiere of this version took place at the Sheffield Music Festival in 1908, conducted by Henry Wood. In 2021 George Morton created a chamber version[4] of the work (for 10 musicians) for performances by Opera on Location in Sheffield.[5]
Although the work was never intended to be staged, it has on occasion been presented as a one-act opera as in this Belgian Premiere on July 24th 1982.
