This opera is remembered for Godard's most enduring composition, the tender berceuse (lullaby) for tenor, "Oh! ne t'éveille pas encore" commonly known in English as Angels Guard Thee.
Opera/ˈɒprə/ (Italian:[ˈɔːpera]; English plural: operas; Italian plural: opere[ˈɔːpere]) is an art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text (libretto) and musical score, usually in a theatrical setting. In traditional opera, singers do two types of singing: recitative, a speech-inflected style and arias, a more melodic style. Opera incorporates many of the elements of spoken theatre, such as acting, scenery, and costumes and sometimes includes dance. The performance is typically given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble, which since the early 1800s has been led by a conductor.
Opera is part of the Western classical music tradition. It started in Italy at the end of the 16th century (with Jacopo Peri's lost Dafne, produced in Florence in 1598) and soon spread through the rest of Europe: Schütz in Germany, Lully in France, and Purcell in England all helped to establish their national traditions in the 17th century. In the 18th century, Italian opera continued to dominate most of Europe (except France), attracting foreign composers such as Handel. Opera seria was the most prestigious form of Italian opera, until Gluck reacted against its artificiality with his "reform" operas in the 1760s. Today the most renowned figure of late 18th century opera is Mozart, who began with opera seria but is most famous for his Italian comic operas, especially The Marriage of Figaro (Le Nozze Di Figaro), Don Giovanni, and Così fan tutte, as well as The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte), a landmark in the German tradition.
According to Opera Software, the browser had more than 350 million users worldwide in the 4th quarter 2014. Total Opera mobile users reached 291 million in June 2015. Opera has been noted for originating many features later adopted by other web browsers. A prominent example is Speed Dial.
History
Opera began in 1994 as a research project at Telenor, the largest Norwegian telecommunications company. In 1995, it branched out into a separate company named Opera SoftwareASA. Opera was first released publicly with version 2.0 in 1996, which only ran on Microsoft Windows. In an attempt to capitalize on the emerging market for Internet-connected handheld devices, a project to port Opera to mobile device platforms was started in 1998. Opera 4.0, released in 2000, included a new cross-platform core that facilitated creation of editions of Opera for multiple operating systems and platforms.
Opera is the debut studio album of Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber's electronic music project Tosca. It combines new material and previously released singles, including "Chocolate Elvis". "Irresistibly funky" (BBC), "the blues, and the thick sultry bass, makes it as sexy and melancholy as cigarette smoke after a one-night stand in a strange city" (Mixmag). It is "one of the few sure things in a modest genre" (Sasha Frere-Jones, LA Weekly).

Stuart Burrows Sings - Benjamin Godard : Berceuse de Jocelyn
Another Wonderful piece, the words are beautiful, and as always, Stuart Burrows puts his heart and soul into it. There are a couple of little faults on the soundtrack, unfortunately, I can't correct them, but hopefully, it doesn't spoil your enjoyment too much. 'Angels Guard Thee, Sweet Love, Till Morn'...

RUDOLF SCHOCK sings "La Berceuse ORIGINALE' from 'Jocelyn' by Benjamin Godard
RUDOLF SCHOCK sings the ORIGINAL aria from the opera 'Jocelyn' and that makes this recording important.
Although in German, but in a tolerable translation of the French lyrics.
The well known English adaptation “Angels guard thee” ignores the opera and her religious background. Its content is of a conventional, romantic fairy tale.
Yet I used O'Reilly's adaptation for the English subtitles: A tribute to her everlasting popularity.
Rudolf Schock’s interpretation of the 'Berceuse' is not sentimental, but powerful and trustworthy: Jocelyn feels strongly through faith in Mary, the Angels and God. His conviction tells him: Laurence will get better!
------------
Thanks to the 'Berceuse' the title of the opera has lingered.
However, the work itself has almost been forgotten.

Erna Sack sings the beautiful lullaby from Jocelyn by Benjamin Godard.
Erna Sack (1898, Spandau - 1972, Mainz) was a German coloratura soprano, famous for her extreme vocal range, especially the extreme, ethereal high notes up to C4, above the "regular" soprano high C. Due to her ethereal (Have I used this phrase?) coloratura, she was referred to as "Die deutsche Nachtigall", or "The German Nightingale" in English. She was born as Erna Weber, but she took her husband's (Hermann Sack) surname, whom she married in 1921. She joined Berlin State Opera in 1928, but her real career started after 1930, when Erna started to sing in other opera houses throughout Germany. Her international career started in 1935, including performaces in London (Covent Garden), Austria, the Netherlands and in Ita...

Her international career started in 1935, including performaces in London (Covent Garden), Austria, the Netherlands and in Italy, where she sang The Magic Flute with Tito Schipa. In 1937 she sang at Carnegie Hall with Joseph Schmidt and Tauber. Erna's two most famous movies are Blumen aus Nizza (1936) and Nanon (1938). She retired from stage in 1957.
Because this is my iddy-biddy channel, let me add a very pesonal note: I think Erna Sack had not only a lovely voice, but her appearance and face were very lovely and womanly. She was forty in Nanon and how gorgeous she looked! Her husband must have been a very lucky man. :)
Lyrics:
Oh! ne t'éveille pas encore
Pour qu'un bel ange de ton rêve
En déroulant son long fil d'or
Enfant, permette qu'il s'achève
Dors ! Dors ! le jour à peine a lui
Vierge sainte, veillez sur lui.
Cachés dans cet asile
Où Dieu nous a conduits
Unis par le malheur
Durant les longues nuits
Nous reposons tous deux
Endormis sous leurs voiles
Ou prions aux regards
Des tremblantes étoiles.
