Polyeucte (opera)
'' Polyeucte'' ((:pɔliœkt)) is an ''opéra'' by Charles Gounod based on the play about Saint Polyeuctus by Pierre Corneille. The libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré is more faithful to its source than ''Les martyrs'', Scribe's adaptation for Donizetti, and Gounod hoped to express "the unknown and irresistible powers that Christianity has spread among humanity".〔Huebner 1990, p. 215.〕 The subject had occupied Gounod for some ten years. An initial delay was caused by a fire which destroyed the theatre of the Paris Opéra, the Salle Le Peletier, in October 1873. Further delay came about because the first draft remained in the hands of the jealous Georgina Weldon when Gounod left England in 1874 to return to Paris. He had to resort to a lawsuit before resigning himself to recomposing the work from memory, although towards the end of that endeavor, Weldon did return it.
The opera finally premiered at the Opéra's new house, the Palais Garnier on 7 October 1878 but was a failure, "the sorrow of my life" 〔Huebner 1990, p. 217.〕 and closed after 29 performances.〔Harding 1973, p. 199.〕 Polyeucte's aria "Source délicieuse" is sometimes heard in concert.
A 2004 co-production by Jean-Louis Pichon was seen that year in Martina Franca, then in 2006 in Saint-Etienne conducted by Laurent Campellone and Jean-Pierre Furlan in the title role.〔Kasow, Joel, "Report from Saint Etienne", ''Opera'', August 2006, Vol 57 No 8, p932-3.〕
