Background: Charles Gounod's Polyeucte was first staged in Paris on 7th October 1878. This very interesting work is almost an oratory, based on declamation and very close to the aesthetics of the original tragedy by Corneille. From a vocal point of view this opera fits in with the grand-opéra style imposed by Meyerbeer.

An important title then, especially for Gounod, who, convinced of its quality, wrote, before his death: 'Let my work perish, even Faust, but may Polyeucte live!'.
