''Le médecin malgré lui'' (''The Doctor in spite of himself''; sometimes also called ''The Mock Doctor'') is an opéra comique in three acts by Charles Gounod to a French libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré after Molière's play, also entitled ''Le Médecin malgré lui''. ==Performance history== It premiered at the Théâtre Lyrique, Paris on 15 January 1858.〔According to Camille Saint-Saëns, this date was chosen consciously, since it is the anniversary of the birthday of Molière. See Molière's ''Portraits et Souvenirs'', p. 35 etc.〕 As the work uses spoken dialogue and verse taken directly from Molière's play, the Comédie-Française tried unsuccessfully to block performance of the opera.〔Haubner S., ''Grove'', 1997〕 It was revived at the Opéra-Comique in 1872, 1886, 1902 and 1938; was seen in Hamburg, Stockholm and Warsaw in 1862; and in England between 1865 and 1891.〔Johansson E., "Notes for LPs MRF 157-S", 1979.〕 The opera has been rarely performed in recent years, although there have been radio broadcasts: the BBC in the 1950s and French radio in the 1970s. Yale Opera, in a partnership with the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library and the Yale French Department, performed the piece with the Erik Satie recitatives in April 2004 in New Haven, Connecticut. Utopia Opera in New York City performed the work in French with English supertitles during March 2013. 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「Le médecin malgré lui (opera)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
