Lalla-Roukh
''Lalla-Roukh'' is an ''opéra comique'' in two acts composed by Félicien David. The libretto by Michel Carré and Hippolyte Lucas was based on Thomas Moore's 1817 poem ''Lalla Rookh''. It was first performed on 12 May 1862 by the Opéra-Comique at the Salle Favart in Paris. Set in Kashmir and Samarkand, the opera recounts the love story between Nourreddin, the King of Samarkand, and the Mughal princess Lalla-Roukh. Her name means "Tulip-cheeked", a frequent term of endearment in Persian poetry.〔Balfour, Edward (1885/1976) p. 661〕
==Performance history==
''Lalla-Roukh'' had its world premiere on 12 May 1862 at the Opéra-Comique (Salle Favart) in Paris in a double bill with Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny's ''Rose et Colas'', a one-act ''mêlée d'ariettes''.〔Ortigue (25 May 1862) p. 203〕 The ''mise en scène'' was by Ernest Mocker, the settings by Jean-Pierre Moynet, Charles Cambon, and Joseph Thierry, and the costumes by Jules Marre. An immediate success with the Paris audiences,〔 ''Lalla-Roukh'' was very popular in its day, with 100 performances at the Opéra-Comique in the year following its premiere. It was revived several more times by the company, including performances in 1876, 1885 (with Emma Calvé in the title role), and 1898,〔 receiving its 376th and last performance on 29 May.
The opera was soon presented in other French-language theatres, including those in Liège (20 October 1862), Brussels (27 October 1862), Antwerp (29 October 1862), Geneva (19 January 1864), and other cities,〔Loewenberg (1978) columns 956–957〕 as well as the Opéra de Monte-Carlo in 1886 and 1888.〔 It was translated into German and performed in cities such as Coburg (25 December 1862), Mainz (26 December 1862), Munich (16 March 1863), Vienna (22 April 1863), and Berlin (Meysels-Theater, 7 August 1865), and even translated into Hungarian (presented in Budapest, 31 January 1863), Polish (Warsaw, 8 March 1866), Swedish (Stockholm, 12 January 1870), Italian (Milan, Teatro Rè, 7 September 1870), and Russian (St. Petersburg, 5 February 1884; Moscow, 10 February 1896).〔
''Lalla-Roukh'' sank into obscurity in the 20th century although individual arias and its overture were occasionally performed at concerts and recitals. Larger extracts from the opera were given concert performances in 1976 at Cadenet (David's birthplace) and in 2008 at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. performed by Opera Lafayette.〔Downey (13 May 2008)〕
