A clean attractive copy overall. First Edition.<br /> <br /> Grisélidis was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre National de l'Opéra-Comique on 20 November 1901.<br /> <br /> " . on its own terms Grisélidis is one of Massenet's most successful operas. The action moves swiftly through just over two hours of music the instrumentation shows the composer at his most economic and delicate and in no other of his operas are his melodies so unconstrained. The use of reminiscence motif is judiciously calculated. Much of the score's appeal lies in its skilful mixture of comedy and sentiment. The role of the Devil was written for Lucien Fugère one of Massenet's favourite singers; his music is full of sprightly dry Gallic wit . the title role is as touching in its delineation as it is vocally rewarding - it was originally sung by Lucienne Bréval who also created Fauré's Pénélope and Dukas' Ariane . the tenderly nostalgic duet for Grisélidis and her first love written with rare psychological insight . shows the composer at his best."
