Hélène (opera)

''Hélène'' is a poème lyrique or opera in one act by composer Camille Saint-Saëns. It is the first opera for which Saint-Saëns wrote his own French libretto, which is based on the classic story of Helen of Troy and Paris from Greek mythology. The opera premiered at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo in Monaco on 18 February 1904. Moderately successful, the opera enjoyed a handful of revivals up through 1919, after which it fell out of the performance repertoire. The work was resurrected in 2008 for its world premiere recording by the Australian music label ''Melba''.〔Hugh Macdonald, ( "''Hélène''" ), ''Grove Music Online'' ed. L. Macy, by subscription access. (Accessed February 23, 2009)〕
==Performance history==
''Hélène'' is the first opera that Saint-Saëns composed for the opera house in Monte Carlo, which was led by enterprising director Raoul Gunsbourg at that time. At its premiere, the opera was presented in conjunction with Jules Massenet's veristic ''La Navarraise''. The role of Hélène was sung by acclaimed soprano Nellie Melba, who had commissioned Saint-Saëns to write the opera specifically for her. The reviews of the premiere performance, though not stellar, were generally positive.〔〔Andrew Clements, ("Saint-Saëns: ''Hélène''/''Nuit Persane''; Orchestra Victoria/Tourniaire" ), ''The Guardian'' (London), 25 September 2008. CD review〕 The opera was subsequently revived at the Opéra-Comique on 18 January 1905, with Mary Garden in the title role and in Monte Carlo again in 1909 and 1916. The Palais Garnier staged the work for the first time on 20 June 1919, with Marcelle Demougeot in the title role.
The opera then fell into obscurity until it was recorded for the first time in 2008 by the Belle Époque Chorus and Orchestra Victoria under conductor Guillaume Tourniaire.〔〔Hugo Shirley, ("Saint-Saëns: ''Hélène''; Nuit persane ), 1 August 2008 on musicalcriticism.com〕
