The stage works of Saint-Saens range from grand open-air pageants
to one-act comic operas, and include the first composed film score.
Yet, with the exception of Samson et Dalila, his twelve operas have
lain in the shadows since the composer's death in 1921. Widely
performed in his lifetime, they vanished from the repertory - never
played, never recorded - until now. With four twenty-first-century
revivals as a backdrop, this timely book is the first study of
Saint-Saens's operas, demonstrating the presence of the same
breadth and versatility as in his better known works. Hugh
Macdonald's wide knowledge of French music in the nineteenth
century gives a powerful understanding of the different conventions
and expectations that governed French opera at the time. The
interaction of Saint-Saens with his contemporaries is a colourful
and important part of the story.
