The opera was written to celebrate King Louis XV’s victory in the Battle of Fontenoy, but the pairing of Rameau and Voltaire was an uneasy one. Not surprisingly, the libretto’s thinly veiled suggestion that kings earn the loyalty of their subjects with benevolence, not conquest, met with a tepid response. Its depiction of Bélus and Bacchus as bellicose, perpetually inebriated and possibly promiscuous didn’t sit well with the king. Rameau hastily revised the opera in 1746, but McGegan is using the original, more pointed, version, from Rameau’s own manuscript, owned by UC Berkeley and housed in the university’s Jean Gray Hargrove Music Library. Today, the message comes across brilliantly.

‘And that was it’. Dustin Hoffman: I remember when I heard Bob Dylan the first time, I didn’t think he’d go anywhere. But I heard him when he hadn’t found his own voice yet. He was still doing Woody Guthrie. But I was a snob also, because I preferred modern jazz. Duvall and I were kind of the same in [that] regard. Kenneth H. Brown: There was an actor in “The Brig,” Steven Ben Israel, and he was a comic in those cafes on MacDougal like the Gaslight when Dylan was singing there, so he was a friend of Dylan’s. So Dylan came to see “The Brig” in ’63 and Steve introduced me to him, and he said that “The Brig” was the first play he ever saw. He said, “Are all plays like that?” And we laughed and said, “No, Bobby, all plays are not like that.” I don’t know if he ever saw another one.
