Massenet goes on to tell his correspondent that it is a rehearsal "in case of colds. and it's the prudent thing to do" asking him to keep that just between themselves.<br /> <br /> From the collection of Marilyn Horne b. 1934. "Massenet was the most prolific and successful composer of opera in France at the end of the 19th century and into the beginning of the 20th."

In concert she once achieved the feat of singing in a single programme Rossini arias and Brünnhilde's Immolation Scene proof of her exceptional versatility. Throughout her lengthy career she was an admired recitalist singing lieder mélodies Spanish and American songs with equal aplomb." Alan Blyth in Grove Music Online. unknown

Gailhard. <br /> <br /> "Ariane was designed on a grand scale and grandly staged at the Opera in 1906. Catulle Mendès's libretto treats Theseus's flight from Crete with Ariadne as well as her sister Phaedra with whom he falls in love. Its success was largely built on the fourth act in which Ariadne descends to the underworld to plead with Persephone to restore her dead sister. Lucy Arbell from then on to be closely associated with Massenet's operas made a great impression in the role of Persephone especially with her aria 'Des roses des roses' a late addition to the score. The third act in which Ariadne pleads with Phaedra to intercede with Theseus on her behalf is scarcely less touching. Of all the many operas on the Theseus myth this is one of the few to include Phaedra and to dramatize the rivalry of the two sisters for Theseus's love."<br /> <br /> "Massenet was the most prolific and successful composer of opera in France at the end of the 19th century and into the beginning of the 20th."
