Camille Saint-Saëns, the one-man band
Frédégonde
Opera in five acts, music by Camille Saint-Saëns and Ernest Guiraud with the collaboration of Paul Dukas, libretto by Louis Gallet, premiered at the Paris Opéra on 16 December 1895.
Opera
When Ernest Guiraud died leaving his Frédégonde unfinished, Saint-Saëns agreed to complete the work on condition that he would receive assistance from the young Paul Dukas, who had the task of orchestrating half the opera. Both men were fascinated by the bloody rivalry between Brunhilda and Frédégonde.
