EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, renowned French composer Jules Massenet (1842-1912) is seen standing at the entrance of his villa in Monte Carlo. The year is 1910, and the esteemed artist is basking in the success of his latest opera, Don Quichotte, which had its world premiere at the Monte Carlo Opera House just a short distance away. Massenet's connection to Monte Carlo was a long and fruitful one. The Riviera town had become a popular destination for artists, writers, and musicians, and Massenet was no exception. The Mediterranean climate, the stunning beauty of the coastline, and the vibrant social scene provided ample inspiration for the composer, who spent many summers in the region. Don Quichotte, an adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes' classic novel, marked Massenet's return to the opera stage after a brief hiatus. The production was eagerly anticipated, and the response from critics and audiences was overwhelmingly positive. The Tatler, a leading society magazine of the time, reported that the opera "met with a most enthusiastic reception," with praise going to Massenet's "exquisite music" and the "brilliant" performances of the cast. As Massenet stands at the entrance of his villa, bathed in the warm sunlight of the Riviera, it is clear that he has every reason to be proud of his achievements. The success of Don Quichotte not only solidified his reputation as one of France's greatest composers but also allowed him to continue enjoying the beauty and inspiration of Monte Carlo for many years to come.
