Amédée-Ernest Chausson (* 1855 Paris † 1899 Limay, near Paris) was the son of a wealthy Parisian building contractor family. Since he died young in a tragic bicycle accident, his catalog includes a few, but consistently high-quality
works that clearly show the musical influence of his teachers Jules Massenet and César Franck, especially in Chausson's earlier compositions. His only opera - "King Arthus" (Le Roi Arthus) - he wrote towards the end of his short life in the years 1886–1895. In this opera, for which he wrote the libretto himself, one can hear clear parallels to Richard Wagner's “Parsifal” and “Tristan und Isolde”, which are based on formative impressions of two
Visits to Bayreuth in 1882 and 1883 can be traced back. For the libretto, Chausson chose the legend of King Arthur,
the Knights of the Round Table and the sword Excalibur, but placed the tragic love between the brave Lancelot and the beautiful Genièvre at the center of this passionate opera.

Amédée-Ernest Chausson (*1855 Paris † 1899 Limay, bei Paris) war der Sohn einer wohlhabenden Pariser Bauunternehmer-Familie. Da er bei einem tragischen Fahrradunfall jung verstarb, umfasst sein Katalog wenige, jedoch durchwegs hochwertige
Werke, die den musikalischen Einfluss seiner Lehrer Jules Massenet und César Franck besonders in Chaussons früheren Kompositionen klar erkennen lassen. Seine einzige Oper – „König Arthus“ (Le Roi Arthus) – schrieb er allerdings gegen Ende seines kurzen Lebens in den Jahren 1886–1895. Bei dieser Oper, für die er auch selber das Libretto verfasste, lassen sich deutliche Parallelen zu Richard Wagners „Parsifal“ und „Tristan und Isolde“ hören, die sich auf prägende Eindrücke von zwei
Besuchen in Bayreuth 1882 und 1883 zurückführen lassen. Für das Libretto wählte Chausson die Legende von König Arthus,
den Rittern der Tafelrunde und dem Schwert Excalibur, stellte aber die tragische Liebe zwischen dem tapferen Lancelot und der schönen Genièvre ins Zentrum dieser leidenschaftlichen Oper.
