The Sheremetev Serf Theater (1775-1797), managed mainly by Count Nikolai Petrovich Sheremetev (1751-1809), was one of the few theaters that imported and performed the French genre tragedie lyrique, which was never staged in any other Russian theaters (not even the court theater). This paper aims to present the facts regarding the performances of tragedie lyrique at the Sheremetev Theater according to the handwritten correspondence, in French, between Count Nikolai and Monsieur Hivart (date of birth and death unknown), a musician of the Paris Opera, which is preserved at the Russian State Historical Archive. Furthermore, this work aims to promote appreciation of said theater's activities. Many performances of tragedie lyrique were held at the Sheremetev Theater between 1784 and 1791. Count Nikolai was increasingly interested in tragedie lyrique, including the fashionable operas by C. W. Gluck and his followers, which were imported into the theater every year. When these operas were performed, the troupe expended great effort on preparing the performances under the leadership of Count Nikolai. For example, Renaud, by A. Sacchini, was imported with much assistance from Monsieur Hivart, and the entire text was translated into Russian, with great difficulty. Ultimately, Count Nikolai ordered Monsieur Hivart to create an opera in three acts, Tomiris reine des Massagetes, which has choruses, dances, and recitatif (that is, the same qualities as tragedie lyrique). Given the challenges of performing tragedie lyrique, Count Nikolai demanded character in the music, spectacle, and festivity of the opera. He demonstrated his utmost concern for the performance of fashionable works. These challenges reveal the Sheremetev Serf Theater as an "opera theater" capable of staging full-scale operas. In addition, the circumstances suggest that the foundation for the flourishing of the operatic culture in the 19th century was laid by nobles in the late 18th century.

お 1793にエカテリーナ2世によるロシアとフランスの交流停止措置があって、「蹄鉄工」以降はフランスオペラが上演されてない。(12枚めあたり) ただ、これはシェレメーチェフ家の農奴劇場とフランスオペラの論文だから、ほかのようすがわからないな https://t.co/cMwdIjFHHU
最終結果。農奴劇場にて上演予定だったサリエリの《ダナオスの娘たち》に関する一節です。恐らくこれだと思われます。 https://t.co/ZG1N35UhdN
