	Adriana Lecouvreur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adriana Lecouvreur is an opera in four acts by Francesco Cilea to an Italian libretto by Arturo Colautti, based on the play by Eugène Scribe and Gabriel Legouvé.
		The opera is based on the life of the French actress Adrienne Lecouvreur (1692–1730).
		Adriana uses the final lines of the text to make a headstrong attack on the Princess, who determines to have her revenge.

	Waiting in the Wings, Part 2
		Surely the great star of the operatic acting profession must be Adriana Lecouvreur, who in Cilea's eponymous 1902 work is drawn from a genuine historical figure, an actress at the Comédie-Français of the early 1700s.
		Adriana is in love with Maurizio, whom she believes is only an employee of the Count of Saxony.
		When Adriana, invited to a fête where she hopes to meet Maurizio, learns his aristocratic identity...and the Princess realizes the nature of Maurizio's new relationship, verbal daggers are drawn.

		Adriana Lecouvreur, a famous actress of her day, is in love with Maurizio whom she believes to be an ensign of the Count of Saxony.
		He is more concerned with Duclos' apparent infidelity for he has intercepted a letter which he mistakenly believes to be from her to another lover arranging an assignation and, in order to confirm his suspicions, he plots to catch the lovers red-handed.
		Assuming the present to be from Maurizio, Adriana believes that the dead flowers are a symbol of their dying love.

	Cilea: Adriana Lecouvreur - Opera Australia/Richard Bonynge : DVD review
		Adriana dates from 1902, and inevitably has a much more lush orchestration than the Donizetti and Bellini roles for which she is more famous.
		Lecouvreur lived from 1692 to 1730, and in the opera she is in love with Maurice de Saxe, who is in turn betrothed to Princess Bouillon.
		The final scene, in which Adriana dies from inhaling the scent of poisoned violets sent by the Princess as if they were from Maurizio (he has previously sent Adriana some violets), features ardent singing from Austin and the trademark Sutherland pathos.

	Adriana Lecouvreur, Holland Park Theatre, London \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		First performed 100 years ago, Adriana Lecouvreur is the best known opera by Francesco Cilea, a younger contemporary of Puccini.
		Lecouvreur was an 18th-century French actress who was notorious for an affair with Maurice, Count of Saxony, and a series of public rows with his former mistress, the married Princess de Bouillon.
		The crunch comes when Adriana blurs the line between reality and art by performing a monologue from Phèdre at a soiree given by the Prince de Bouillon, inflecting the lines so as to expose his wife's adultery.

	Opus Arte : Cilea - Adriana Lecouvreur (La Scala) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Cilea’s four-act opera of jealousy and tangled love, first performed in Milan in 1902, is based on the true-life story of Adriana Lecouvreur, an 18th-Century actress at the Comédie Française, whose rival for the love of Maurizio, Count of Saxony, is the married Principessa di Bouillon.
		Mirella Freni’s portrayal of Adriana puts all of her colleagues, some of them excellent in themselves, in the shade.
		'Adriana Lecouvreur: Cilea goes one step further by deliciously pitting his heroine against one of the nastiest roles in the repertoire, the literally poisonous Princesse de Bouillon, played to the hilt in a 1989 La Scala production by the redoubtably malevolent Fiorenza Cossotto.

		The Greek-American Adriana Grafanas is the greatest opera singer of her age and the most famous woman in the world.
		What continues to elude him, however, are a rare - possibly mythical - bootleg tape of her Venice performance in Cilea's opera Adriana Lecouvreur - the legendary "Venice Adriana" - and some clear insight into the woman herself.
		And in Adriana, he brings fully to life a unique character - one who, like the city of Venice itself, is arrogant, sublime, and hated by the world and yet is finally beloved and worshipped as uniquely beautiful, a treasure of Western civilization.

		Adriana is an actress of the Comedie Francaise in 1730 Paris.
		In this opera, she is playing the villain, Adriana's jealous rival, the Princess of Boulon who, in an effort to get Maurizio for herself and to get rid of her enemy, sends Adriana poison flowers.
		Perhaps with that knowledge, people will re-discover the greatness of Adriana Lecouvreur, despite that pathetic ending in which she dies after smelling flowers that didn't sit well with her nostrils.

		Cilea's opera is based on a popular play which was itself based on the real life story of Adriana Lecouvreur - the great actress of early 18th Century Paris - and her relationship with the aristocratic soldier Maurizio, Count of Saxony.
		In the opera Adriana dies a suitably tragic, theatrical death, dying in the arms of her lover after smelling poisioned violets sent by her rival.
		Cilea's gloriously lyrical score includes Adriana's two popular arias 'Io son l'umile ancella' and 'Poveri fiori' and the well known tenor aria 'La dolcissima effigie' (sung at the opera's premiere by Enrico Caruso).

	Classical Net Review - Cilèa - Adriana Lecouvreur
		Adriana, after all, dukes it out with a powerful member of the royalty not once, but twice, in this opera, so she must not be like the wilting violets that cause her death in Act Four!
		Adriana is no match for her hauteur and ruthlessness, and, with her solid vocalism, she is the center of attention every time that she is on stage.
		The sound (PCM stereo, DD 5.1, DTS 5.1) and the picture (16:9 anamorphic) are fine, although the former is not as wide-ranging as I would have expected it to be.

		Moreover, Magda Olivero, a true and fiery verismo soprano, is simply a better Adriana than Caballe, who is a great technician but not by any stretch of the imagination a verismo singer.
		Adriana Lecouvreur (1902) is Puccinisque in style, or sounds like early Puccini, and it has more going for it then the gorgeous arias I have heard excerpted.
		This recording is from a great live performance (Paris, 1975) with Caballe and Domingo in stunning form.
