UNT Libraries: Music Library, Armide Plot Summary Armide is unusual among Lully and Quinault's tragédies lyriques in that it concentrates on the psychological development of a single character. Armide leaves the Pleasures and a troop of Fortunate Lovers to amuse Renaud in an extended divertissement while she retires to the Underworld to consider her situation. Armide returns in time to confront Renaud as he leaves her, imploring him to take her with him as a captive if he will not remain as her lover. www.unt.edu /lully/Armide/Armiplot.html   (827 words)

Salon Music Review | Sharps & Flats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Gluck's opera is set in Damascus, during the Crusades, and it opens with Armide's attendants celebrating her successful bewitching and imprisoning of an entire Christian army. The mood changes to one of worry when Armide is informed that one knight, Renaud, has resisted her spells and freed several comrades. Armide uses her powers to lure and beguile Renaud, but upon raising her dagger, she realizes she has fallen in love and cannot kill him. archive.salon.com /ent/music/review/2000/01/05/armide/print.html   (1018 words)

Armide (Lully) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Armide was one of Lully’s last operas and was therefore extremely developed in style. The Armide section is an instrumental overture divided into two parts, all with the same highly professional sound, as if to accompany the entrance of some great authority who is highly revered. A stark sense of hesitation washes over her, and her voice grows softer and more full of doubt as it is revealed to both the naieve character and us (as the audience), that this trepidation is being caused by an unforeseen falling in love with the enemy, Renaud. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Armide_(Lully)   (709 words)

NY Collegium - Music for the Sun King Program Notes Because of the remarkable development of Armide’s psychological state, it was known in Paris as “the ladies’ opera.” Our first scene comes from Act One, where Armide has just revealed a troubling dream about her sworn enemy Renaud. Despite the spellbound Renaud’s assurances of love, Armide is troubled and leaves him to consult her sources in the underworld. Normally, this would form the grand finale of the opera, but in Armide this happy ending is wrecked by the arrival of Renaud’s companions who break Armide’s spells and leave with their hero. www.nycollegium.org /2007/programs/sun_king_notes.html   (1846 words)

Armide - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Armide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The plot recounts that Armide's intended victim is Renaud, but he escapes her traps. An earlier version of the opera by Jean-Baptiste Lully (libretto by Philippe Quinault) was first produced at the Paris Opéra on 15 February 1686. She had seen Gluck's Armide that year, and played from memory the music of the enchanted garden--the music to which Renaud approaches, beneath the light of an eternal dawn, the music that never gains, never wanes, but ripples for ever like the tideless seas of fairyland. encyclopedia.farlex.com /Armide   (191 words)

Jean-Luc Godard's "Armide" The film vignette "Armide", by Jean-Luc Godard, in the film Aria, combines techniques often employed by pornography with an "unreadability", so that, for some viewers, the film could be misconstrued as being pornographic. This type of discourse would not, and in fact could not, be engaged with pornography that appeals directly to the emotions, for pornography accepts and exploits the male gaze as a given. And it is here where the artistry of "Armide" is revealed, beyond any simple notion of nudity and objectification -- whereas pornography only serves as a conduit of the male gaze, "Armide", while maintaining itself on the cusp of pornography, reveals itself as art through its problematic questioning of the gaze. www.geocities.com /Hollywood/cinema/4355/armide.html   (583 words)

Knights at the Opera, Part 13 - Liberating Jerusalem Armide is in love with Rinaldo, but it is she who feels her first loyalty is political: to prevent the knight from conquering her Moslem lands. Two knights arrive, searching for him, but Armide intercepts them, summoning up an assortment of visions to prevent their rescue of Rinaldo. He leaves with his fellow knights but, instead of pursuing him as in Rossini's opera, the anguished Armide sets fire to her palace and dies in the flames (a Götterdämmerung touch, no?). www.suite101.com /article.cfm/opera/87617/2   (423 words)

Armide with its arias that slip frictionlessly into recetatives, duets, and trios is harder to grasp. My one complaint, is a lack of raw passion at some crucial moments, especially from Armide herself. www.amazon.ca /Armide-Comp-Christoph-Willibald-Gluck/dp/B000026BO7   (1206 words)

I listened with particular closeness to the arias from "Armide", which I had just performed myself - and was enchanted by Petibon's singing of them. www.amazon.ca /French-Baroque-Arias-Jean-Philippe-Rameau/dp/B00005IA1U   (1884 words)

The Stage | Reviews | Armide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Aidan Lang has shown himself a remarkable administrator but there’s a worrying lack of stagecraft in this show, with too many of the principals looking unconvinced and unconvincing in their movement. There are some good things among Jason Southgate’s designs, notably an imaginative realisation of Armide’s enchanted palace, strikingly lit by John Bishop. But though she looks a temptress, Rosana Lamosa’s Armide lacks the vocal and dramatic stature to do justice to the grand tragic heroine and her English diction is poor. www.thestage.co.uk /reviews/review.php/13216/armide   (304 words)

Tower Records - Gluck: Armide / Minkowski, Delunsch, Workman, Naouri, et al   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Minkowski's sense of this music as vital (rather than "period") comes across in every measure, a sense projected by his excellent cast of singers. Mireille Delunsch's uses her clear, rounded soprano voice to achingly beautiful effect, nowhere more than in her no-holes-barred rendition of Armides famous second-act monologue, "Enfin, il est en ma puissance"--a performance so unmannered and immediate that one can hear Gluck's contemporaneous critics turning in their graves. Special mention must be given to the Polish mezzo-soprano Ewa Podles, whose star turn as Hate (who arises from Hell) stands out as one of the many vocal delights in this recording. www.towerrecords.com /product.aspx?pfid=1710906   (875 words)
