L'artisan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

L'artisan (The Craftsman) is an opéra comique by Fromental Halévy, to a libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges.[1]

L'artisan was the first of Halévy's operas to be staged (Opéra-Comique, Paris, 1827).[2] The trivial plot is set in a shipyard in Antibes. The opera was withdrawn after 14 performances and seems never to have been revived.[citation needed]
