La vivandière

About

This production of Benjamin Godard’s La vivandière was presented during the 1928–1929 season at the Théâtre de Tours. A drame lyrique in three acts with a libretto by Henri Cain, it formed part of the standard operatic repertoire of the era and was staged for local audiences in Tours. Musical direction was led by M. E. Henry-Petit, overseeing the Orchestre du Théâtre de Tours and the Chœurs du Théâtre. The staging reflected late 19th- and early 20th-century operatic conventions, focusing on the vivandière’s story within a lyrical dramatic framework.
