Charles Gounod was enchanted by the young Provençal-born FrĂ©dĂ©ric Mistralâs epic love poem MirĂšio, and enlisted the distinguished Michel CarrĂ© to fashion a libretto. Against the grain of prevailing operatic practice in the 1860s, and its promotion of glamour and spectacle, Gounod relished instead the lives of modest country people and their idyllic world. He utilizes folk dances and a shepherdâs lament to chart the story of his tragic heroine whose desire to marry her true love ends in her death. âEverything feels true to the operaâs pastoral spiritâ wrote Gramophone about this production, which marked the operaâs first appearance at the Paris Opera.
