Premiere |
Since its premiere run of 31 performances Le Mage has been rarely performed (it was seen in The Hague in 1896), and it is one of Massenet's least known operas.[1] However, it falls squarely in the middle of his most productive period. A rare complete concert performance took place in Saint-Étienne in 2012.[2]
