Three French libretti on classical themes. In CASTOR AND POLLUX, by
Pierre Bernard, one of the twins from ancient myth attempts to
rescue his brother from the underworld. PENELOPE, by Jean-Francois
Marmontel, tells the story of Ulysses' return to Ithaca after his
long journey home from Troy, and how he takes revenge on the
boorish suitors of his wife, Penelope, who have browbeaten her for
years. Emile Augier presents the story of SAPPHO, another tragedy
set in classical times, full of betrayal and self-sacrifice.
Ancient Greek drama had much in common with modern opera,
emphasizing story lines that have been simplified to focus very
tightly on particular emotional themes. The freshness and charm of
these French dramatizations make them worthy of being brought to
the attention of a contemporary audience.
