Louise

Album by Gustave Charpentier & Beverly Sills & Nicolai Gedda & Mignon Dunn & José van Dam & Orchestre de l’Opéra national de Paris & Chœurs de l’Opéra national de Paris & Julius Rudel

Louise is an opera by French composer Gustave Charpentier, premiered in 1900. Its music combines late-Romantic lyricism with verismo-influenced realism, featuring expressive orchestration and declamatory vocal writing, and the work occupies a place in Charpentier's career as a major example of Parisian naturalism in early 20th-century French opera.
