THE KING OF OF FRENCH OPERETTA,
By ALAIN ROBERT (ST-HUBERT,QUÉBEC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Offenbach: Ou, Le rire en musique (French Edition) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent overview of OFFENBACH'S life and works,focusing on his best operettas that are the objects of a good analysis.Like all great composers of the past,OFFENBACH needs to be replaced in his original context to be fully appreciated.What you learn is that he was a family man who loved his children.He was also a composer who had many parallels with ROSSINI;both were considered bouffons and desperetately wanted to be taken seriously as composers.There are pictures of HORTENSE SCHNEIDER who created many roles and a few of him as well.OFFENBACH was a favorite victim of the caricaturistes of his time.He was also in a way a feminist before his time,because he created strong characters for women.In all,this is a usefull book,worth reading.
