In his autobiography, Jules Massenet stated that he idolized the music of Berlioz and Wagner. As a composer, he aimed at variety of musical expression and of harmonic and orchestral colouring, and he found the scope he needed for such variety in many diverse subjects. Wagnerian influences are particularly evident in the areas of libretti and use of Leitmotive . Even if taken as coincidental and superficial, these aspects of Massenet's operas are too striking to be ignored, for the oft used and well-integrated Leitmotive and the orchestra's symphonic-expositional treatment all pay homage to Wagner. By grafting these elements onto the French opera tradition, Massenet earned and occupied for many years a position in France analogous to that of Wagner in Germany and of Verdi in Italy. Its combination of realism and fantasy makes Esclarmonde (1889) a concentrated summation of the subjects Massenet treated in his operatic output. The work is therefore much more of a music drama than any of his earlier operas, and yet it remains entirely French in perspective. Massenet had earlier experimented with Leitmotive in Manon (1884), and in Esclarmonde , he adopted the technique with greater resolution. Though subtitled "Romanesque Opera," Esclarmonde is essentially a dramatic symphony. In the first chapter, a discussion of Wagner's use of Leitmotive is presented. This is followed by a review of the state of French opera in the nineteenth century. The second chapter follows Massenet's development as a composer of operas. The final chapter discusses Esclarmonde : Leitmotive in its origins, its influences, and Massenet's use of the work.
