Djamileh
''Djamileh'' is an ''opéra comique'' in one act by Georges Bizet to a libretto by Louis Gallet, based on an oriental tale, ''Namouna'', by Alfred de Musset.
==Composition history==
De Musset wrote ''Namouna'' in 1832, consisting of 147 verses in three 'chants' (only the last dozen or so deal with the tale of Namouna). In 1871 when Bizet was stalled on other projects for the stage, Camille du Locle, director of the Opéra-Comique suggested to him a piece written some years earlier by Louis Gallet based on ''Namouna''. After some hesitation, Bizet composed the work during the late summer of 1871 but the premiere production was delayed due to trouble in finding suitable singers.〔Dean W. ''Bizet''. London, J M Dent & Sons, 1978.〕〔Programme for Djamileh. Opéra de Lyon, 2007.〕
The original production formed part of a trio of new short works at the Opéra-Comique that spring: Paladilhe's ''Le Passant'' in April, then ''Djamileh'', and ''La princesse jaune'' (also an orientalist work) by Saint-Saëns in June.〔Wright L A. ''A Vision of the Orient''. Opera North programme book, 2004.〕 Bizet had wanted Galli-Marié (the first Carmen) or Marguerite Priola to create the title role - both were singing in the Paladilhe piece, but was obliged to take instead the inadequate Prelly.〔Curtiss M. ''Bizet and his world''. New York, Vienna House, 1974.〕
On 17 June, Bizet wrote to a friend that, despite the lack of success of his new piece, he at least felt that he had found his path as a composer.〔Letter quoted in Programme for Djamileh. Opéra de Lyon, 2007.〕
