Quoi-quoi-quoi, ce chef-d’œuvre absolu de l’opéra-bouffe français qu’est L’Etoile de Chabrier ne figurait pas encore à la Discothèque idéale de Qobuz ? Erreur réparée illico. Voici donc ce sommet de la finesse orchestrale, théâtrale et linguistique enfin placé sur le piédestal qu’il mérite. L’Etoile de Chabrier fut créé en 1877 chez Offenbach, aux Bouffes-Parisiens, avec moult péripéties puisque la richissime orchestration de Chabrier, ainsi que son langage harmonique extravagantement complexe (malgré l’apparente facilité du discours : erreur !), créèrent bien des soucis au modeste orchestre des Bouffes-Parisiens, habitué aux assez simples ploum-ploum de Offenbach – toute révérence due à ce compositeur que le rédacteur de ces lignes vénère, par ailleurs. Le succès d’estime fut quand même tel que l’ouvrage fut repris à Berlin puis à Budapest l’année suivante. On le retrouve même à New York en 1890… si l’on ose dire, puisque le titre est changé en The Merry Monarch et surtout la partition de Chabrier est remplacée par celle d’un compositeur local. Heureusement pour Chabrier, sa musique est bientôt restituée à Bruxelles en 1909 puis en 25 pour l’Exposition des Arts Décoratifs. Ouf ! Depuis, L’Etoile – qui n’a jamais accédé au rang d’opéra-star, probablement parce que les chanteurs n’y trouvent pas vraiment matière à briller vocalement avec contre-ut, airs de bravoure et tout le tralala du grrrrrrrand opéra. L’ouvrage est trop fin, trop délicat, trop peu soumis à la dictature du gosier… Il a même fallu attendre 1985 pour qu’en soit réalisé un premier enregistrement complet : le voici, sous la baguette de Gardiner, avec une belle brochette de chanteurs de haut vol, de ceux capables de tenir leur rang non seulement en termes vocaux mais aussi du point de vue de la compréhension du texte, de ses implications, de ses double-sens. Superbe enregistrement qui mérite pleinement l’accession au titre de star – rien de plus normal pour une Etoile. (SM)
