Paul Jules Barbier (8 March 182516 January 1901) was a French poet, writer and opera librettist who often wrote in collaboration with Michel Carré. He was a noted Parisian bon vivant and man of letters.〔(Baltimore Opera Study Guide - ''Roméo et Juliette'' )〕 His libretti for extant operas (those co-written with Carré are shown with an asterisk) include: *Charles Gounod: * *''La Colombe'', ''Faust'' ( *), ''Le médecin malgré lui'' ( *), ''Philémon et Baucis'', ''Polyeucte'', ''La reine de Saba'' and ''Roméo et Juliette'' ( *) *Victor Massé: * *''Galathée'' * Giacomo Meyerbeer: * *''Le pardon de Ploërmel'' (later revised as ''Dinorah'') *Jacques Offenbach: * *''The Tales of Hoffmann'' *Camille Saint-Saëns: * *''Le timbre d'argent'' *Ambroise Thomas: * *''Hamlet'' ( *), ''Mignon'' ( *) and ''Francesca da Rimini''. He also wrote the libretto for ''La Guzla de l'Émir'', a one-act comic opera by Georges Bizet. This was never performed and probably destroyed. He wrote the scenario for Léo Delibes' ballet ''Sylvia''. Charles Gounod wrote incidental music to Barbier's play ''Jeanne d'Arc'', and the libretto to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's opera ''The Maid of Orleans'' was partially based on it. ==See also== * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jules Barbier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
