About
I am a research fellow and teacher at the Department of Language and Literature. I have a master in French Literature at the University of Orléans, France. My MA thesis examines the teaching of poetry with students in high-school. My PhD research is focused on the eighteenth century in French Literature, and more specifically on the opéra-comique, hybrid genre between theater and musicology.
Research
The relationship between composers and librettists at the opera-comique during the french revolution: the example of Marsollier and Dalayrac
My thesis is focused on the link between text and music at opéra-comique, an hybrid genre very popular during the eigteenth century in France, but also in all Europe.
Publications
« Gulnare, un opéra-comique oriental au gré des tourmentes politiques et esthétiques
du XVIIIe siècle »
This article, which combines literature, history and musicology, tries to understand the part and the place of this opéra-comique, the only one dealing with Orientalism, in the work of Marsollier and Dalayrac. Forthcoming.
« De Nina au Délire, un regain d’intérêt pour la légèreté d’Ancien Régime, face à la « terreur musicale »
This article, which is based on the comparison between Nina, opéra-comique by Marsollier and Dalayrac dating from 1786, and Le Délire, an opera by Berton on a libretto by Saint-Cyr dating from 1799, tries to testify to a certain return to lightness of Ancien-Régime in the repertoires of Parisian theaters at the end of the eighteenth century, after several years of "musical terror" during the Revolution. Forthcoming.
