FEW French composers of last century attained speedier or more consistent success than
Massenet. Ho was a brilliant student, and, of his score or more of Operas the greater part enjoyed immense popularity. At the age of thirty-four he received the decoration of the Legion of Honour, and two years later he became a member of the Academy of Fine Arts-the youngest member ever elected. Not many of his operas have survived in England, but Manon was long a favourite at Covent Garden.
His Neapolitan Scenes probably include some reminiscences of his period in Italy, to which country he. was sent to study when he won the ' Prix de Rome ' in 1863.
