Gounod Gounod’s opera ‘" Mireille,’ which in English we tall " Mirella,’ was produced in Paris in -1864, and enjoyed quite a popular success, but now only its melodious Overture is at all well known, The opera télls of the course of true love running far from smoothly, and ending in the lovers’ union too late. Mirella and her ‘sweetheart, Vincent, find each other and win consent to their wedding, only for her to die in a Mystic ecStasy. The tragic end of the story would hardly be guessed from the Overture. It is full of thoroughly bright and tuneful music, and has always been among the most popular of Gounod’s purely instrumental pieces. |
