First Edition. <br/><br/>First performed in Paris at the Conservatoire National on May 18 1892 and at the Théâtre National de l'Opéra on June 17 1892. <br/><br/>"Charpentier carried his spirit of revolt to the Villa Medici and like Debussy before him escaped from Rome to Paris on several occasions. He managed however to write the nucleus of his life's work there: the orchestral suite Impressions d'Italie the symphonie-drame La vie du poète a latterday Lélio and most of the libretto and the first act of his most famous work Louise. Charpentier's growing success in the 1890s with La vie du poète and open-air extravaganzas like the Sérénade à Watteau and La couronnement de la muse coupled with the expected scandal attached to the opera's promiscuous theme and the excitement of the Paris Exhibition led to a box-office triumph in February 1900 though the composer had nearly starved during the previous year. The vociferous young left wing hailed him as the saviour of French music though it was undoubtedly the sociological ideals of this first opera of women's liberation rather than its music which appealed."
