"There are. fine moments in Mireille particularly in the title role where Gounod exhibits his particular talent for feminine characterization. Mireille. is a noteworthy contribution to the French lyric stage. It presents the unsuitability of a love match because of difference in social status entirely within the framework of a rural agrarian society and transforms the daughter of a farmer into a tragic heroine."<br/><br/>"In his unceasing quest for what he saw as dramatic and spiritual truth Gounod succeeded in restoring a higher sense of artistic purpose to the French stage and in strictly musical terms his influence on the course of French music was substantial."
