In 'L'Enfant Roi' , a 'comédie lyrique' dealing with bourgeois life in modern Paris, which plainly owed a good deal to Charpentier's 'Louise, the composer essayed a lighter style with no very conspicuous success, but his latest work,'Naïs Micoulin' , a Provençal tale of passion, revenge and devotion seems to contain more of the elements of lasting success.
