"Scintillating and Magisterial Orchestrating by the Master in Full Score" according to Doug - Haydn Fan. Ravel's exquisite one act Spanish opera about marital farce is one of the joys of opera. The story lasts exactly one hour, and takes place in a watchmaker's shop while he is away setting the town clock. His ignored wife, the concupiscent Concepcion, spends the hour struggling to find a noontime lover worthy of her passion. For this light divertisement Ravel wrote a glittering score, drawing on his love

Grove's Dictionary calls it one of Ravel's "most brilliantly successful achievements in a light vein." Reproduced here from an authoritative 1911 French edition
