About Adolphe Adam

Hometown

Paris, France

Born

1803

Genre

Klassik

Kein Geringerer als Hector Berlioz lobte die ansprechende Pariser Eleganz der Musik von Adolphe Adams Lehrer François-Adrien Boieldieu. Dieses Urteil trifft nicht minder auf seinen Schüler zu, der seine kompositorischen Fähigkeiten beim Schreiben von Varieté-Liedern erlangte und sein dramaturgisches Gespür im Orchester des Théâtre du Gymnase Dramatique verfeinerte. Der 1803 in Paris geborene Adam wollte leicht verständliche und unterhaltsame Musik schreiben. Mit letzterem Ziel komponierte er 36 Opéras comiques, darunter seinen Hit von 1834, „Le chalet“, der in den folgenden vier Jahrzehnten mehr als 1.000 Mal aufgeführt werden sollte. Seine Werke sprühten vor Witz und Anmut und erforderten einiges an stimmlicher Wendigkeit – eine Arie in „Le postillon de Lonjumeau“ (1836) lässt den Tenor in ein stratosphärisches hohes D aufsteigen. Heute erinnert man sich vielleicht am besten an seine „Cantique de Noël“ (1847, „O Heilige Nacht“) und die Ballette „Giselle“ (1841) und „Le Corsaire“ (1856).
