Salammbà , le poème et l'opéra explores the enduring legacy of Gustave Flaubert's historical novel "Salammbà " and its adaptation into Ernest Reyer's opera of the same name. Henri de Curzon, a noted music critic, delves into the narrative and dramatic elements that made "Salammbà " a sensation and examines how the opera captured the exoticism and grand scale of Flaubert's vision. This book provides valuable insight into the intersection of literature and music, offering perspectives on how a celebrated novel transitions to the operatic stage, retaining its power to transport audiences to the ancient world. This work will appeal to scholars of French literature, opera enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the cultural impact of Flaubert's masterpiece.
