Excerpt from Gounod's Operas in London This work was written for Pauline V'iardot, to whom, perhaps we owe F aust, for she encouraged him to confine himself to music. Gounod, at that time, was very friendly with the Garcia family, and frequently visited them at Courtavenel, in Brie. On one occasion he took part there in a performance of Beaumarchais's Mariage de Figaro, when V'iardot was the Suzanne, her daughter Louise the Cherubino, Ivan Turgeniev the Almaviva, desiree-artot the Countess, Joaquina Garcia the Don Basilio, and he the Figaro. Gounod was a very distinct Speaker. In her reminiscences Mathilde Marchesi wrote Gounod sang delightfully, and one could not help overlooking the poorness of the voice while listening to his perfect diction. Chorley, who did so much for Gounod in this country, met the composer through the introduction of Pauline \'iardot, and in his journal of 18 50 there is the following comment It was a great pleasure to me in Paris to add to my list of sensations Gounod, of whom the world will one day hear as thc composer, or else H. F. C. Is much mistaken.and was another failure, eleven representations only being given. On January 15th, 1858, the Theatre Lyrique produced Le Médecin Malgré Lui, which, dedicated to the Princess Mathilde, was more fortunate. The following year, March lgth, 1859, Faust appeared at the same theatre. Philemon et Baucis was first heard in Paris on February 18th, 1860, and after this came La Reine de Saba, dedicated to Count walewski-colonna (february 29th, Mireille, dedicated to King George v of Hanover (march lgth, La Colombe, dedicated to Edouard Bénazet, the director of the Casino at Baden Baden, where it was first given in 1860 (june 7th, Romeo et Juliette, dedicated to Charles XV of Norway and Sweden (april 27th, Cinq Mars (april 5th, Polyeucte, which he called a work of apostolic art (october 7th, and Le Tribut de Zamora (april lst, 1881) - the last three being failures.
