About This Item
Paris: C. Jourbert [PN B. et Cie. 5198], 1897. Large octavo. Half black cloth with marbled boards, titling gilt to spine, marbled endpapers. 1f. (recto title printed within ruled borders, verso blank), 1f. (recto named cast list and contents, verso blank), 83, [i] (blank) pp.
Named cast includes Juliet, Pellet, Moreau, Paul, St. Aubin, Lesage, and Moreau.
Binding slightly worn, rubbed and bumped; spine partially detached with some loss. Annotation deleted at upper inner margin of first page of music with resulting abrasion; minor loss to blank upper outer margin of p. 7. Printed from Brandus plates.
Les Rendez-Vous Bourgeois, to a libretto by François-Benoît Hoffman, was first performed in Paris at the Opéra-Comique (Salle Feydeau) on 9 May 1807.
"Isouard adopted a simple and superficially brilliant style for this plot. Most of the musical numbers (airs, couplets, romance, rondò and four ensemble pieces) are found in the first part of the opera, in which a carefree or lyrical mood prevails (nine of the ten musical numbers occur in the first 17 of 28 dramatic scenes), whereas the second, more exciting part is conveyed as a spoken drama. The opera was successfully performed in various European countries and was revived in Paris in 1933." Michael Fend in Grove Music Online.
A Maltese composer of French origin, "Isouard played an important part in the Italian influence on French music between the Empire and the beginning of the Restoration." David Charlton and Marie Briquet in Grove Music Online.
