''Nina, ou La folle par amour'' (''Nina, or The Woman Crazed with Love'') is an opéra-comique in one act by the French composer Nicolas Dalayrac. It was first performed on 15 May 1786 by the Comédie-Italienne at the first Salle Favart in Paris. The libretto, by Benoît-Joseph Marsollier des Vivetières, is based on a short story by Baculard d'Arnaud. ==Background and performance history== ''Nina'' was Dalayrac's first collaboration with Marsollier des Vivetières, who would go on to write many more librettos for him, including ''Les deux petits savoyards''. Revived by the Opéra-Comique at the Salle Feydeau in July 1802, ''Nina'' was a popular success, which it remained until receiving its last performance by the company in 1852.〔Wild & Charlton 2005, pp. 340–341.〕〔 Loewenberg (1943), ''Annals of Opera''〕 It was also performed in translation in London and Hamburg in 1787 and in Italy in 1788.〔Bampton Classical Opera (1999).

''Cambridge Opera Journal'', Vol. 8, No. 2 (July 1996), pp. 91-112 〕 Its most famous aria, "Quand le bien-aimé reviendra" ("When my sweetheart returns to me"), is mentioned by Hector Berlioz in his ''Memoirs'' as his "first musical experience" (he heard an adaptation of the melody sung during his First Communion).〔〔Kelly, Barbara L. and Murphy, Kerry eds. (2007). (''Berlioz and Debussy: Sources, Contexts and Legacies'' ). Ashgate Publishing, p. 4. ISBN 0-7546-5392-7〕 In 1813 Dalayrac's score for ''Nina'' was adapted as a ballet by Louis Milon and Louis-Luc Loiseau de Persuis with Émilie Bigottini in the title role. In the ballet version, "Quand le bien-aimé reviendra" is played as a solo for cor anglais. It was at one of the early performances of this ballet that Berlioz remembered the melody he had heard in his childhood.〔Berlioz, Hector (1966). (of Hector Berlioz: From 1803 to 1865 ) translated and edited by Eleanor Holmes and Ernest Newman. Courier Dover Publications, p. 21. ISBN 0-486-21563-6〕 Giovanni Paisiello had also set the libretto in an Italian version adapted by Giambattista Lorenzi. Paisiello's ''Nina'', which premiered in 1789 is still performed today, while Dalayrac's has fallen into obscurity. 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「Nina (Dalayrac)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
