Abstract

Music

This article focuses on the contribution made by the singing actor Victor Maurel to the music industry. Some twenty years ago in Paris, Maurel did attempt the spoken drama. But after a few performances he gave it up, alleging as his reason that the technique of acting in spoken drama was too different for him to master at his age. The inference is clear that the acting of the lyric stage, though by no means the same as that of the so-called "dramatic" stage, is not necessarily bad. made by the singing actor Victor Maurel to the music industry.
