Archival interest propelled me to Yale University's Sprague Memorial Hall on April 16, for a performance of the long-neglected Charles Gounod opera Le Medecin Malgre Lui. It bowed in 1858, immediately preceding Faust. The two works shared the same librettists, Jules Barbier and Michel Carre, but little else: despite the fact that Erik Satie tinkered with the score in the 1920s, Le Medecin Malgre Lui has languished in obscurity, until the manuscript full score found its way to Yale's Beinecke Library. A great deal of time and care was invested in the Yale production, presented by Beinecke, Yale's School of Music and Yale Opera. Unfortunately, Medecin is pretty routine stuff musically, and Yale's production, with a loud and uneven cast, didn't make much of a case for it.
A week later, however, Yale offered an impressive master class with RENATA SCOTTO.

ODD, but true: Moliere never wrote anything worth noticing until 1660 when, at the age of 38, he happened to visit Rouen. In Rouen lived a contemporary, the tragedian Pierre Corneille, author of "Le Cid". Thenceforth, Moliere became a great French writer, despite the fact that he was impossibly
