10OMBRA FELICE, aria for alto, with orchestra, in F, text from Metastasio’s Didone abbandonata, music by Mozart, composed in Salzburg in September, 1776. Breitkopf & Härtel, Mozart Werke, Serie vi., No. 14.—Köchel, Verzeichniss, No. 255; Jahn, Mozart, i. 422.
12OMBRA MAI FÙ, mezzo-soprano arioso of Serse, in F major, with accompaniment of strings complete, in Handel’s Serse. Act I., Scene 1. A grandiose and generally condemnable transcription of this little pastoral air, for violin, harp, and full modern orchestra, by Hellmesberger, has won undeserved popularity in concerts as the “Handel Largo.”
14OMBRE, L’ (The Shade), French opera in three acts, text by Saint-Georges, music by Flotow, first represented at the Opéra Comique, Paris, July 7, 1870. Scene in Savoy, reign of Louis XIV., during the persecution of the Protestants. The Comte de Rollecourt, having protected a family of Protestants from massacre, is sentenced to be shot, but is saved by a friend, who extracts the balls from the muskets. He then takes refuge in a village as a wood-carver, under the name of Fabrice. Jeanne, a young Protestant, who had loved him and had seen him fall, flees to this village, and becomes the servant of Fabrice, whom, however, she does not recognize as the comte. Fabrice, hearing that his friend is to suffer death for the stratagem, reveals himself to Jeanne, marries her, and is about to surrender when the docteur Mirouet brings his pardon. Mme Abeille, a widow, also loves Fabrice, but finally consents to marry the good doctor. There are only four characters in the opera, and there is no chorus. Original cast:
16Fabrice (l’Ombre, T.) ……. M. Monjauze.
17Docteur Mirouet (B.) ………. M. Meillet.
18Jeanne (S.) …………… Mlle Marie Rôze.
