L\u00e9o Delibes
21 Feb 1836-16 Jan 1891<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

L\u00e9o Delibes was born in Saint-Germain-du-Val, France on 21st February 1836. He was an opera and ballet composer and influenced the likes of Tchaikovsky,<\/a> Debussy<\/a>, and Saint-Sa\u00ebns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of his popular works<\/a> include Czardas Hungarian Dance from Coppelia<\/a>, Pizzicati Scherzettino from Sylvia<\/a>, and The Flower Duet from Lakm\u00e9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His mother was a talented amateur musician and the daughter of an opera singer and his father was a mailman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many of his fellow composers, he studied at the Paris Conservatoire<\/a>. He was fortunate enough to study under the influence of Adolphe Adam<\/a>. In 1881 he became professor of composition at the Paris Conservatoire after being an accompanist at the Paris Opera and Th\u00e9\u00e2tre-Lyrique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delibes initial work was comic operas. He did this for fourteen years, often writing for a theatre run by Jacques Offenbach<\/a>. In 1866 he worked with Ludwig Minkus in the ballet La Source which led to his successful commission for his famous ballets Copp\u00e9lia<\/span> <\/a>(1870) and Sylvia <\/a>(1876). Not wanting to be typecast in ballet Delibes turned his hand to opera, but didn’t experience the successes of the ballet with his comical opera Le Roi l\u2019a dit or the more serious Jean de Nivelle, however in 1883 he premiered the opera Lakm\u00e9<\/span><\/a> which was his masterpiece. Lakm\u00e9 enjoyed successes around Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lakm\u00e9 is now known to a wider audience due to it’s use in advertisements. You can listen to this beautiful piece of music below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
