[…] Rabaud (1839–1900), professor of cello at the Paris Conservatoire, while his mother was a singer who almost created the role of Marguérite at the request of Gounod. His maternal grandfather was a well-known flautist, while his great aunt was Julie Dorus-Gras. Henri studied at the Conservatoire with André Gedalge and Jules Massenet. In 1908, he became a conductor at the Paris Opéra-Comique where he later conducted the 100th performance of his opera Mârouf, savetier du Caire, and from 1914 to 1918 he directed the Paris Opéra. In 1918 he became musical director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for only one season before returning to Paris. While in Boston, he was elected to membership in the Alpha Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity, the national fraternity for men in music. Following the resignation of Gabriel Fauré in 1922, Rabaud was his successor as director of the Conservatoire, where he remained […]

Gala du tricentenaire de l'Opéra Comique
[…] and Stéphane Degout sing the scene in the caves : after the comic interlude, the menace seems even more oppressive. Harps and flutes introduce the next "scene" change : instantly Pelléas is outside, in the "open air" Another striking scene change, the backcloth first showing an orchestra (reminding us of the music), then a nightscape outside an "Eastern" castle with palm trees. Degout sings "A travers le désert" from Henri Rabaud Mârouf, savetier du Caire. No need for camels. They're in the music. Truly, video and lighting are the way ahead in modern stagecraft, opening up infinite possibilities and throwing emphasis back on the magic that is music. The point is further made with an extract from Poulenc La voix humaine, where Antonacci sings with a cellphone. She moves more fluidly, but her singing expresses the sense of being "tied", trapped by her emotional dependence on […]

[…] Tom Jones, I have to admit that I haven’t cottoned to most of the operas-comiques I have listened to in the past. They have seemed musically shallow and relentlessly bouncy, although a few of Grétry’s works have struck me favorably, particularly fizzy recorded highlights from Le Jugement de Midas conducted by the late Gustav Leonhardt, now available on Ricercar as a companion to an excellent complete version of Grétry’s once wildly popular La Caravane du Caire led by Marc Minkowski. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YIdWnLDII4 Therefore, when I saw that this Opera Lafayette program was going to pair Mozart’s complex 1790 masterpiece with a Philidor “trifle” from fifteen years earlier, I was skeptical particularly when I noticed that Femmes would be following Così. Much to my surprise, the anticipated let-down did not occur; in fact, Philidor’s 90-minute one-act proved a delightful treat! Thursday’s program notes were packed with […]
