Author Description

Louise: Roman Musical En Quatre Actes Et Cinq Tableaux (1900) is a French-language opera written by Gustave Charpentier. The story follows the life of Louise, a young seamstress in Paris who falls in love with Julien, a Bohemian artist. They struggle to make ends meet as they navigate the challenges of their relationship and the harsh realities of life in the city. The opera is set against the backdrop of the social and political upheaval of the late 19th century, with themes of class struggle and the search for personal fulfillment. Charpentier's score is notable for its use of popular music styles of the time, including waltzes and cabaret songs, as well as for its innovative use of orchestration and vocal techniques. The opera was a critical and popular success upon its premiere and has since become a staple of the French operatic repertoire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
