Approved

La fée - Cendrillon de Pauline Viardot - Opéra de Lausanne

Her father? Manuel Garcia, a famous Spanish tenor, creator of Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia, who agreed to let her attend his home lessons as a child. Her sister? Maria Garcia, better known as Maria Malibran, the early 19th century shooting star of the opera world who tragically disappeared at the age of 28. Her piano teacher? A certain Franz Liszt who tutored her to a level where she could confidently play a duet with Clara Schumann. Her admirers? They were legion and Alfred de Musset was the first to court her, but when it came to getting married, her friend George Sand pointed her towards a less troubled potential spouse in the person of Louis Viardot, director of the Théâtre des Italiens and 20 years her senior. Chopin would have better luck… whatever George thought of that! Her first role? Desdemona in Verdi’s Otello in London in 1839 at the tender age of 17, the prelude to a brilliant career that would see her not only light up stages but also fire the imagination of the creative talents of her time, like Saint-Saëns who dedicated Samson et Dalila to her, or Gounod who wrote Sapho for her with its tailormade aria ” Ô my lyre immortelle”. In short, a life in music, of which the creative dimension should not be forgotten, as reflected in a wide variety of a melodies she composed from her early years onwards, along with some works of greater scope such as her Cinderella, a comic opera (sometimes referred to as a chamber operetta) in three tableaux for seven solo singers, choir and piano, written in the 1880s after Perrault, Andersen and Nicholay Checkhov to a libretto of her own creation, and premiered on 23 April 1904  in her Paris salon when she was 84 years old.
