Opera Talk: Jules Massenet In-Person / Online
Manon and Werther are staples of opera repertoires all over the world. Many believe Grisélidis, Le jongleur de Notre-Dame, Don Quichotte, Thais and Cendrillon should be given as much attention. Jules Massenet composed more than thirty operas. In the 1930's Sir Thomas Beecham told the critic Neville Cardus, "I would give the whole of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos for Massenet's Manon, and would think I had vastly profited by the exchange." In 1994, the eminent critic, Andrew Porter, wrote: "Who knows Manon, Werther and Don Quichotte knows the best of Massenet, but not his range from heroic romance to steamy verismo." Join us in the Children's Program Room of the Greenburgh Public Library or on Zoom at 2 PM on December 27th as we explore the music of the intriguing French Composer of the Romantic Era, Jules Massenet.
