L'éventail de Jeanne (Jean's Fan) is a children's ballet by 10 French composers. They include Ravel and Roussel. There's also a Roland amongst them. Roussel was a sailor at one time I think, and sailed on the Iphigenie to Indonesia, so it's probably Roussel. Why the siege link ... More work needed, but then I ought to be doing some!
Indeed, v generous clues!
Very generous clues make the game go round
Quickly!
Opera-ballet Padmâvatî (1918, staged 1923). Roussel was inspired by his visit to the ruined city of Chittor in Rajasthan.
Sorry, am - will try to provide an easier S, with quicker turnaround. Will be a little while though, as really MUST work now, and going to see Don Pasquale tonight.
How do others cope with this - is there an easy way to be alerted when anyone has posted? RSS perhaps? Otherwise polling the boards does get a bit obsessive and tedious.
If we don't know about RSS maybe ff or Mark Sealey would know.
I think badly translated water sheep should be Ram-eau whose opera Samson seems to be lost although the Voltaire libretto apparently survives
Handel's Samson premiered at Covent Garden on 18 Feb. 1743
Flanders Opera's 2009 production of Saint-Saens's Samson et Dalila seems to have caused a kerfuffle basically because the Hebrews were turned into Palestinians and the Philistines into Israelis, but I'm still reading about what happened next.
Over to you for T - spaghetti/tagliatelle almost right now, allegedly.
Well, don't know about mercia, but it's certainly pasta for T here as well! Just catching up, I thought the Ram-eau clue was very funny. Love Rameau btw, but everything I have of him is by Frans Bruggen, don't you think he does it the best?
Oh, of course!! My Word! If I hadn't been cooking Tagliatelle I would have got that instantly! Not! And, my Dear merce/Angle, no puzzle is too easy for those of us who struggle.
