摘要

卡米尔Saint-Saëns以古希腊为主题创作的独幕歌剧《hsamuren》(1904)描述了特洛伊的海伦与特洛伊王子帕里斯离开斯巴达的夜晚，并在此过程中点燃了一场战争。对雅克·奥芬巴赫(Jacques Offenbach)的讽刺轻歌剧《La Belle h， Saint-Saëns认为这部剧引发了法国音乐品味的崩溃，这激起了人们对这部剧酝酿已久的鄙视。事实上，巴黎媒体普遍认为这部歌剧是对古希腊文化遗产的重新发掘——这种处理方式从奥芬巴赫和瓦格纳的德国魔爪中拯救了希腊的绝对美。广泛借鉴接受研究、文化史和解释学分析，本文将h l置于复杂的、交织在一起的法国音乐辩论中，讨论文化遗产、民族主义、瓦格纳主义和绝对美的美学。

Helen and Paris: Classicism and Frenchness in Saint-Saëns’s Hélène

Abstract Camille Saint-Saëns’s one-act opera Hélène (1904), one of several works he composed on ancient Greek topics, depicts the night Helen of Troy departs Sparta with the Trojan prince Paris, igniting a war in the process. Hélène had been a long-gestating project, spurred by a simmering disdain for Jacques Offenbach’s enduringly popular satirical operetta La Belle Hélène (1864), which Saint-Saëns’s believed triggered no less than the collapse of French musical taste. Indeed, the opera was widely perceived in the Parisian press as a reclamation of the cultural legacy of ancient Greece—a treatment that rescued Hellenic absolute beauty from the German clutches of first Offenbach and then Wagner. Drawing extensively on reception studies, cultural history, and hermeneutical analysis, this article situates Hélène in complex, interweaving fin de siècle French musical debates over cultural heritage, nationalism, Wagnerism, and the aesthetics of absolute beauty.
