Overview

Cherubin is an opera (comedie chantee) in three acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Francis de Croisset and Henri Cain after de Croisset's play of the same name. It was first performed at the Opera de Monte-Carlo on 14 February 1905, with Mary Garden in the title role. The story is a light-hearted addition to Beaumarchais' Figaro plays, the action taking place soon after that of The Marriage of Figaro, and imagines festivities in celebration of Cherubin's first military commission and seventeenth birthday. A farcical romp ensues, brought on by Cherubin lusting after each of the female characters and inspiring general confusion. This is a new reprint from a 1905 copy, the print quality in some pages are not the best, but legible. Hard to find.
