Ogier, E. - Ogier

…In French, pièce bien faite literally means a well-constructed play, but it usually refers to a play with a tight structure, in which the plot progresses through well-constructed situations rather than through the personalities of the characters. It was established in 19th century France, and its main writers include Eugène Scribe, V. Sardou, A. Dumas the Younger, and Émile Augier. In general, the story unfolds while unsettling and surprising the audience, with the conclusion usually conforming to established moral values. …

From [Modern Drama]

…If we were to translate <modern drama> into a Western term, for example, English, it would become modern drama or modern theatre. However, when we try to translate this word back into Japanese, three translations emerge: <modern drama>, <modern drama>, and <contemporary drama>. However, the Japanese term <modern drama> is opposed to both <modern drama> (<classical drama>) and <contemporary drama> (<contemporary drama> is also used as the opposite of <period drama>). This is because the period called modern in Western languages ​​covers the period up to the present day, whether it began in the Renaissance, the 19th century, or the 20th century, whereas the Japanese term <modern> does not include the period after <modern>, and <modern> does not include <contemporary>. …

From [French Theatre]

…After works such as “Henri III and his Court” marked an era, in the 1850s, around the time of the establishment of the Second Empire, the theaters were dominated by “contemporary genre plays” beginning with “La Traviata” by Le Petit Dumas (premiered in 1852). Le Petit Dumas, Émile Augier (1820-1889), and V. Sardou were the three leading composers of these plays, which dealt with the money, sex, and family of the contemporary bourgeoisie, and this phenomenon marked the second turning point in 19th-century theater. Contemporary genre plays developed into serious "dramas" dealing with social issues, such as the realistic dramatism of H. Beck and the naturalistic theater of E. Zola, and into light comedies full of twists and turns, such as E. Labiche and his successor G. Feydeau, who perfected "vaudeville as a comedy" after Eugène Scribe's (1791-1861) "vaudeville without singing," and J. Offenbach's operettas, the flower of Paris during the Second Empire.

…フランス語ではpièce bien faiteといい,文字どおりには〈よく作られた戯曲〉を意味するが,普通は,緊密な構成をもち,人物の個性よりも巧みに組み立てられた状況によってプロットが進行する戯曲を指す。19世紀のフランスで確立し,スクリーブEugène Scribe,V.サルドゥー,A.デュマ(子),オージエÉmile Augierなどをおもな書き手とする。おおむね,過去の秘密がしだいに明らかになって中心人物の現在の生活に決定的な影響を及ぼすという物語を,観客を不安がらせたり驚かせたりしながら進行させ,また,結末は既成の道徳観に合致するのが普通である。…

【近代劇】より

…〈近代劇〉を欧米語,たとえば英語に直せばmodern drama,あるいはmodern theatreとなろう。だがこの語を逆に日本語に訳そうとすると,〈近世劇〉〈近代劇〉〈現代劇〉の3通りの訳語が出てくる。ところが日本語の〈近代劇〉は〈近世劇〉(〈古典劇〉)とも〈現代劇〉とも対立する(〈現代劇〉は〈時代劇〉の反対語としても使われる)。これは欧米語でmodernと呼ばれる時代が,その始まりをルネサンス期,19世紀,20世紀のいずれにおいても今日までの時代を覆うのに対して,日本語の〈近世〉は〈近代〉以降を含まず,〈近代〉は〈現代〉を含まないからである。…

【フランス演劇】より

…《アンリ3世とその宮廷》など)がまず一時代を画した後,第二帝政成立前後,1850年代には小デュマの《椿姫》(1852初演)を嚆矢とする〈同時代風俗劇〉が劇場を支配する。小デュマ,オージエÉmile Augier(1820‐89),V.サルドゥーが同時代ブルジョアジーの金や性や家族を扱うこの劇作の御三家であり,この現象が19世紀演劇の第2の転機となる。同時代風俗劇は,社会問題を扱う深刻な〈劇(ドラム)〉としては,H.ベックの写実主義劇作術とÉ.ゾラの自然主義演劇へと発展し,逆転と飛躍に満ちた軽喜劇としては,スクリーブEugène Scribe(1791‐1861)の〈歌抜きボードビル〉を受けて〈喜劇としてのボードビル〉を完成させたE.ラビッシュとそれを継ぐG.フェードーに,あるいは第二帝政期パリの華であるJ.オッフェンバックのオペレッタに結実する。…
