Overview

"This is a study of the rich operatic repertory written and performed in France during the last two decades of the 19th century. Steven Huebner offers an accessible and colourful account of such operatic favourites as ""Manon"" and ""Werther"" by Massenet, ""Louise"" by Charpentier, and lesser-known gems such as Chabrier's ""Le Roi Malgr 'e Lui"" and Chausson's ""Le Roi Arthus"". The text provides a survey of a repertory profoundly influenced by the music of Richard Wagner."
