Le Diable dans le beffroi (1902-1912?):
The reconstruction of Debussy's 'other' Poe opera
Movie Description from YouTube
In August 1903, Debussy wrote a scenario in one act and two tableaux based on Poe's 'tale of mystery and imagination', The Devil in the Belfry (1839). He planned this as a double bill with The Fall of the House of Usher (also from 1839), selling the rights to their joint premieres to the New York Met in 1908. This joint paper by Robert Orledge and Stephen Wyatt discusses the problems involved in producing a fast-moving, clear and dramatically viable professional libretto from what is, in effect, a discarded text, as well as those involved in setting this to music from the sketches Debussy left (but which included a complete Prelude to the first tableau from a 'spot the composer' competition in the journal Musica from January 1905). The lecture is illustrated with extracts from the concert premiere on 28 January 2012 in Montreal with the Orchestre 21 conducted by Paolo Bellomio. This is a part of the conference, 'Debussy: Text and Ideas', which is available in full on the Gresham College website. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/debussy-text-and-ideas-part-three Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. http://www.gresham.ac.uk
