  The Horn Parts in La Juive
The orchestral début of the valved horn is the 1835 opera La Juive of Jules Halévy (1799-1862).
La Juive has frequently been noted for its use of valved horns without examining the nature of the writing [Runyan, 270].
The orchestration calls for four horns and includes parts for a pair of valved horns in seven of its twenty-two numbers; Meifred is recorded as performing one of the valved horn parts for the premiere [Carse, 76].

 Guardian | Halévy: La Juive: Isokoski / Schorg / Shicoff / Todorovic / Miles / Vienna Staatsoper / Young
Gustav Mahler claimed La Juive as "one of the very greatest works ever written", while Wagner continued to study its dramatic strengths throughout his life, to the extent of borrowing the opening of its first act for the equivalent moment in the Mastersingers.
The five acts of La Juive have all the ingredients of operatic spectacle - dramatic confrontations, big public set-pieces, a tragic end with a twist, and it is easy to see how it tweaked the imagination and conscience of its 19th-century audience.
Anyone who has never heard La Juive, however, could investigate this new recording, though the lack of a libretto in the set seems totally absurd when the work will be so unfamiliar to most who might buy it.

 Audio Review--Halévy: La Juive
In looking at a recent Legato release, that of La Juive, I want to start by stating that this is probably is my favorite opera by a French composer (Fra Diavolo comes close, although I prefer the Italian version).
La Juive is also an opera I virtually grew up with - countless 78s, and my first 'complete' recording in 1961.
The Legato Juive came out years before the Phillips, and since the Phillips had more music, and was on CD, I pretty much stopped playing the Legato when I got the Phillips, in spite of the younger Carreras and the presence of Merritt.

 United Press International: Review: 'La Juive' revived at Met Opera   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
One of Caruso's tenor successors at the Met, Neil Shicoff, is credited with persuading the opera company's management to present "La Juive" for the first time since 1936, and Shicoff -- the son of a Brooklyn cantor -- is singing the role of Eleazar that was one of Caruso's favorites.
"La Juive" was an immediate success when it debuted in Paris in 1835 and was the only one of Halevy's 40 operas, many of them quickly and carelessly composed, to continue being performed after his death in 1862.
Bass Ferruccio Furlanetto seems tentative in the early acts of the opera but brings the full resonant power of his prodigious voice to bear on scenes where he is the focus of the drama, and Julien Robbins, another bass, gives a fine accounting of the minor role of Ruggiero, the grand marshal of the court.

Coinciding with the revival of this unjustly forgotten opera, Hallman’s carefully detailed analysis of La Juive sheds much needed light on this issue by placing the work in the artistic, social, and political context in which it was produced.
Placing La Juive in the context of contemporary struggles over the place of the church in public life allows Hallman to identify an important source of the opera’s ambiguous representations of Jews and Judaism as well.
Although she does a wonderful job showing how both liberalism and antisemitism existed in the world in which La Juive was produced, she misses the opportunity to contribute a new analytic perspective to this lively and important discussion.

La juive (occasionally called The Cardinal’s Daughter) by Jacques Fromental Halévy, which earned the composer instant renown in 19th-century Europe and perpetuated his name in the operatic world, reappears on the Lithuanian opera stage.
However, it was for that theme of love why the opera became appealing to the Jews and the Lithuanians alike as much as to the entire humankind – at the time when the opera events took place, at the time when the opera was premiered and at present.
The plot of La juive is somewhat reminiscent of a soap opera or the popular TV programme Atleisk, which is rather characteristic of the opera in general.

La juive premiered the same year as Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor (1835) and was even more successful in its time than its Italian contemporary, with close to 600 performances in its first 100 years.
But La juive disappeared entirely in the 1930s, and unlike the operas of the bel canto, did not find a champion--or champions--to revive it.
It was staged occasionally for tenor Richard Tucker in 1973, and he fought for a production of it at the Met and eventually won the battle; unfortunately, he died soon after the agreement was reached.

Both, La Juive and Les Huguenots (1836, set by Meyerbeer) were designed to demonstrate to a broad public the cruel way in which the (Catholic) church once treated heterodox minorities.
Contemporaries, such as Louis de Bonald (in 1836) and Philarète Chasles (in 1845) considered La Juive as "an apotheosis of Judaism", whereas the concervative-legitimist press engaged in a fierce and unrelenting battle against the opera.
