520 |a Created for the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in-service program at Webster University (St. Louis, Missouri), this series of seminars, presented over a 9-day period, focuses on a comparative study of four operas set in the time period of the French Revolution. The operas examined are: (1) Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" (1786); (2) Beethoven's "Fidelio" (1805); (3) Giordano's "Andrea Chenier"; and (4) Poulenc's "Dialogues of the Carmelites" (1955). In addition to an extensive survey of the philosophical and historical background and events of the French Revolution, participants analyze not only how these operatic works reflect aspects of the period under study but also the relationship between the operas and the literary works upon which each opera is based. Corresponding literary and philosophical materials include Beaumarchais'"The Marriage of Figaro" (1784), a selection of poems by Andre Chenier, Gertrude von le Fort's novelette "The Song at the Scaffold" and its dramatization by Georges Bernanos (1949), and selected writings of Condorcet, Montesquieu, Rousseau, and John Locke. Application to the curriculum also is emphasized. Contains a 21-item bibliography. (Author/BT)
