Zazà

Zazà Italian pronunciation: [dzadˈdza] is an opera by Ruggero Leoncavallo, with the libretto by the composer. Its première at the Teatro Lirico di Milano on 10 November 1900, starring Rosina Storchio as Zazà, Edoardo Garbin as Milio, Mario Sammarco as Cascart and Clorinda Pini-Corsi as Anaïde, and conducted by Arturo Toscanini, began its triumphant run of performances in opera houses around the world.

Over the next twenty years it received over fifty new productions from Palermo to Paris, Buenos Aires to Moscow, Cairo to San Francisco, arriving at The Metropolitan Opera on 16 January 1920 in a production directed by David Belasco and conducted by Roberto Moranzoni, starring Geraldine Farrar, Giulio Crimi and Pasquale Amato, and later Giovanni Martinelli and Giuseppe De Luca. La bohème and Zazà are the operas of Leoncavallo's which most nearly matched the success of Pagliacci.

The story of the opera concerns the French music hall singer, Zazà and her affair and subsequent decision to leave her lover, Milio, when she discovers that he is married. The score is rich with the colorful details of the French music halls where Leoncavallo had spent his early years as a composer.

    Ni Oui Ni Non

    by: Zaz

    Ni oui ni non Ни да, ни нет
    Un peu plus sucré, un peu plus salé
    Non moi j'préfère plutôt quand c'est pimenté
    Un peu plus grand, un peu plus court
    Non moi j'préfère plutôt y aller à pied
    Un peu plus clair, un peu moins cher
    Non moi j'préfère la montagne à la mer
    Un peu plus blanc, un peu plus noir
    Non moi j'préfère les gens qui osent y croire
    Il me demandait sans arrêt, quel est le bon
    chemin à prendre
    Il hésitait, et ça, vous pouvez bien le
    comprendre
    Un peu plus cool, un peu plus chiant
    J'aime bien être seule, et j'aime aussi la foule
    Un peu plus de temps, un peu moins longtemps
    Moi j'aime qu'on m'laisse faire et pas qu' on me
    saoule
    Un peu plus gai, un peu plus triste
    Moi j'aime les histoires d'amour qui font chialer
    Un peu plus proche, un peu plus loin
    J'aime qu'on pense à moi même si on s'voit pas
    Il me demandait sans arrêt, quel est le bon
    chemin à prendre
    Il hésitait, et ça, vous pouvez bien le
    comprendre
    Il me demandait sans arrêt, quel est le bon
    chemin à prendre
    Il hésitait, et ça, vous pouvez bien le
    comprendre
    Un peu plus à droite, un peu plus à gauche
    Moi je préfère ne compter sur personne
    Plus d' argent pour vous, un peu moins pour eux
    Et moi alors, quand est-ce qu'on m'en donne?
    Il me demandait sans arrêt, quel est le bon
    chemin à prendre
    Il hésitait, et ça, vous pouvez bien le
    comprendre
    Il hésitait, et ça, vous pouvez bien le
    comprendre
    Il hésitait, et ça, vous pouvez bien le
