Ali-Baba
''Ali-Baba'' is an opéra comique in four acts of 1887 with music by Charles Lecocq. The French libretto based on the familiar tale from the Arabian Nights was by Albert Vanloo and William Busnach.〔Lamb, A.; Gänzl, K. "Charles Lecocq". In: ''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera''. Macmillan, London and New York, 1997.〕 After some initial success the work faded from the repertoire.
==Performance history==
Ali Baba was a popular subject for operas (Cherubini, 1833, Bottesini, 1871), pantomimes and extravaganzas in Paris and London during the nineteenth century.〔Gänzl K. Ali Baba – in ''The Encyclopaedia of the Musical Theatre.'' Blackwell, Oxford, 1994.〕 Both librettists were experienced in opéra-bouffe and had previously worked with Lecocq, Busnach from 1866 with ''Myosotis'', Vanloo starting in 1874 with ''Giroflé-Girofla''; the two men had met in 1868 when Vanloo had submitted an opéra-bouffe for consideration to Busnach who was at the time the director of the Théâtre de l'Athénée.〔Opéra-Comique Dossier Pédagogique: Ali-Baba (Anne Le Nabour (2013)〕
Originally intended for the Théâtre de la Gaîté in Paris, Lecocq's opera was premiered in a sumptuous production at an established home of operetta and revue in Brussels, the 2,500-seat Théâtre Alhambra, on 11 November 1887.〔 It opened at the Éden-Théâtre, Paris, on 28 November 1889 in three acts and nine tableaux with Morlet in the title role and Jeanne Thibault as Morgiane.〔Noël E & Stoullig E. ''Les Annales du Théâtre et de la Musique, 15ème édition, 1889.'' G Charpentier, Paris, 1890, pp. 393–96.〕 The Annales critic considered that the first act was the strongest of a dense score which had seven numbers from the first run in Bruseels removed for the Paris production.〔
In May 2014 the Paris Opéra-Comique mounted a new production directed by Arnaud Meunier and conducted by Jean-Pierre Haeck.〔(Opéra-Comique website, 2013/14 season )〕
