''Maître Péronilla'' is an opéra bouffe in three acts of 1878 with music by Jacques Offenbach. The French libretto was by the composer with Charles-Louis-Étienne Nuitter and Paul Ferrier.〔Lamb A. Jacques Offenbach (List of stage works). In: ''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera''. Macmillan, London and New York, 1997.〕 The sub-title was ''La femme à deux maris'';〔Noel E and Stoullig E. ''Les Annales du Théâtre et de la Musique, 4eme édition, 1878.'' G Charpentier et Cie, Paris, 1879.〕 the working title during the preparation of the libretto and composition had been ''Frimouskino'', which Offenbach had drafted in the late 1860s.〔Yon, Jean-Claude. ''Jacques Offenbach.'' Éditions Gallimard, Paris, 2000.〕 Composed in Nice, Offenbach asked Nuitter and Ferrier to help him with the song lyrics as his regular collaborators, Meilhac and Halévy had distanced themselves in order to concentrate on other projects, including work with Lecocq.〔 Premiered at the Théâtre des Bouffes Parisiens, the piece was taken off after less than two months, and ''Le timbale d’argent'' returned to the Bouffes.〔 Reflecting on his many previous successes, when the opera failed to run more than 50 performances, Offenbach wrote to Ludovic Halévy that ‘Offenbach’ was not to be found on the billboards for the 1878 Exhibition.〔Harding J. ''Jacques Offenbach.'' John Calder, London, 1980.〕 The work is one of several by Offenbach with Spanish connections: ''Pépito'', ''La Duchesse d’Albe'' and ''Les bavards''. The malagueña was inserted as an additional song for Fiorella in the Christmas Day revival of ''Les brigands'' at the Théâtre de la Gaîté in 1878.〔 Two lawsuits concerning the subject of the opera were brought - against Offenbach and after his death against the theatre manager Charles Comte - alleging that the subject matter had been plagiarized from a stage work by Oswald and Lévy.〔 ==Roles== 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「Maître Péronilla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
