well so far I have Elodie Mechain playing Mother in L'Enfant et les Sortileges at Glyndebourne

Right mercs - I have misled you slightly & I see how - you need to focus on the opera rather than the singer

Cleo Laine is indeed Dame Clementina.

The psychologist is small but not necessarily in stature

is or was ? Melanie Klein (1882 - 1960) ?

Mother in L'enfant doubles up as a China Cup and a Dragonfly (I think)



EDIT - the libretto for L'Enfant is by Colette and Cleo Laine had played Colette on stage

Melanie Klein it is/was

So ... link Ravel's L'enfant with Melanie Klein and Dame Cleo?

Was Ravel the onlie begetter of L'enfant?

can't find a direct connection between Melanie Klein and Colette
did Klein do a case study of a child called Colette ?

Sorry to hear about your partner, ferney - all best wishes to you both and I look forward to your return in due course, as & when

Thanks, cali and ammie. I shall still be contributing to the Forum, but can't be relied upon to "man the boards" having set an AA puzzle.

According to the Guardian "In 1929 L'enfant et les sortilèges was produced in Vienna under the German title of Das Kind und der Zauberspuk – "The Child and the Magic Word". The pioneer psychoanalyst Melanie Klein happened to read a review of the production in the Berliner Tageblatt and wrote a paper entitled "Infantile Anxiety-Situations Reflected in a Work of Art and in the Creative Impulse" for the British Psychoanalytical Society."

Cheers mercs!

Apparently Klein didn't see the opera nor did she hear the music - blimey

Fascinating character, Colette http://www.amazon.co.uk/Secrets-Fles...5296767&sr=1-7

I saw Cleo Laine in the musical based on Colette's life - pleasant enough but I can remember very little about it
