Jocelyn, opera in four acts, Op. 100, first performance in Brussels at the
Théâtre de la Monnaie on Feb 25, 1888. Libretto by Paul Armand Silvestre and
Victor Capoul (French tenor who also sang in the opera's premiere) after a
poem by Alphonse de Lamartine. Jocelyn is a seminarian tempted by earthly
love. According to the Oxford Dictionary of Music, only this Berceuse
survives from Godard's eight operas.

An overview of Lamartine's poem is available at:

An extract from the poem is available at:

Best of luck.
-Steven.

Dear Vocalistmates,

Sorry for re-posting my earlier note. There wasn't a response when I first

help! Karen?
Thanks, again. GW-, dT
