	Louise (opera) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Louise is an opera in four acts by Gustave Charpentier to an original French libretto by the composer.
		The opera attempted to depict Parisian working-class life, and is sometimes considered an early example of verismo opera.
		The opera was quite successful, and launched the career of Scottish soprano Mary Garden who took over the title role during an early performance when the leading soprano fell ill. A film version of the work was made in 1939 with Grace Moore in the title role.

	Louise Mott - Mezzo Soprano
		"Louise Mott is a circus ringmistress with a line in hypnotism, her gear, from guns to lipstick, stashed in her memorable embonpoint.
		Louise Mott's firm, satin-sheeny tone was perfect for Dido: her poised singing of the Lament held the full, appreciative house breathless.
		But it was Louise Mott's orgasmic act two 'Love Aria', in which she hymned the 'flowing river' of Eddy's body while crawling on all fours across the floor of their now up-market cafe, that hit the emotional G-spot of the evening.

		Gilfen's friend, Trott, is a great admirer of Louise, and thinks to profit by the husband's seeming indifference by paying attentions to the neglected wife; but this has come to the knowledge of Gilfen, who, in reality, still loves Louise, though doubtful whether she loves him in returnv and he resents the advances of Trott.
		As the opera opens, it is the eve of the nuptials; and Walter, torn between his love for Loreley and his duty to Anna, in distraction sends for his friend, Hermann, a neighbouring baron, and telling him the whole story entreats his advice.
		Louise is a beautiful young girl, engaged in a dressmaking establishment, and is the daughter of poor but honest working folk.

	Time Fades Beauty of `Louise'/ Loving S.F. Opera production, good singing can't entirely refresh Charpentier's 1900 ...
		Yet what's interesting about ``Louise'' is that it still bears traces of the artistic excitement it generated, especially among French audiences, in its first decades (by 1956, the year Charpentier died, his only significant work had been performed 1,000 times at the Paris Opera).
		Louise and Julien's romantic ardor blazes no more brightly in Act 3, when they are finally living together in sexual freedom, than when they are snatching kisses under her mother's watchful eye in Act 1.
		And the Freudian triangle of Louise's family -- the mother's spite is motivated at least in part by jealousy over the deep emotional bond between Louise and the father, a bond that flirts with the incestuous -- is neither obscured nor explored.

	Louise - Gustave Charpentier
		Louise, on the other hand, the only opera by Gustave Charpentier to survive in the repertory, is becoming a rarity onstage, largely perpetuated by French opera houses.
		Each of the principals is a one dimensional embodiment of a small package of situation and feelings - Louise, the innocent, but adult, woman in love, restrained by possessive parents; Julien, the poor poet and ardent lover; the mean-spirited and rigid mother; and the loving father, selfishly unwilling to let his daughter go.
		Whether that is sufficient justification for a $4 million mounting of Louise is a value judgment to be made only by the ticket buyers and the donors.

	Youth's Companion: "The Opera Cloak" (1861)
		In a plain boarding-house in a retired street, the ladies found the embroiderer; and Louise's heart sunk, when Miss Doyle appeared, to perceive that her eyes were red from recent weeping.
		Miss Doyle was not suffering from hunger or cold, but want of sufficient employment had left her in debt to her landlady, and the sum to be received for the opera cloak had been promised to defray this debt; but the work was finished, and the embroiderer brought home no money to her landlady.
		Louise asked to see the landlady, determined to take all the blame of this unpleasant affair upon herself; and then she learned that the poor woman owed a bill to her butcher, and, relying upon Miss Doyle's expectancy, she had promised to pay him that day.

		In opera, there was a tendency for the forms usual in classical and baroque opera to be loosened, broken, and merged into each other.
		The decline of castrati led to tenors being given the heroic lead in operas as a rule, and the chorus took on a more important role.
		The subjects of Mikhail Glinka's operas, for example, are specifically Russian, while Bedrich Smetana and Antonin Dvorak both used rhythms and themes from Czech folk dances and songs.
