Bizet\u2019s Compositional Trends in Stage Works as Seen in L\u2019Arl\u00e9sienne (1872) <\/em>and Carmen (1875)<\/em>: Misato OCHIAI<\/h3>\n
Abstract<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Representative works by Georges Bizet (1838\u20131875) include L\u2019Arl\u00e9sienne (1872)<\/em> and Carmen (1875)<\/em>. The two works differ in both the theaters where they premiered and their performance genres; the former was created for the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Vaudeville as incidental music for a play, while the latter was composed as a spoken-dialogue opera for the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de l\u2019Op\u00e9ra-Comique. Nevertheless, both are alike in being grounded in the performance of prose dramas and in pursuing theatrical expressions within the framework of theater regulation. Additionally, the premieres of both works were initially met with limited acclaim and were gradually accepted through changes in their modes of performance. However, few studies have clarified the creative continuity or interrelationship between L\u2019Arl\u00e9sienne <\/em>and Carmen. <\/em>In this presentation, I juxtapose these two works, which were created around the same period, and explore the continuity of their creation in consideration of the differences in genre conventions. Specifically, I examine the theater regulations and reviews of the premieres to determine how these works were realized and the characteristics they possessed. Subsequently, I aim to clarify the development of Bizet\u2019s expressive techniques during this period, as well as the continuity of his compositional approach.<\/p>\n
