Life
Gustave Doret studied at the Musikhochschule Berlin with Joseph Joachim , then at the Conservatoire de Paris with Théodore Dubois and Jules Massenet . From 1893 to 1895 he was second conductor of the Concerts d'Harcourt, in 1904 he conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique in Paris.
He wrote the music for the Fête des Vignerons in 1905 and 1927 . His opera Les Armaillis (1900) and the oratorio Les sept paroles du Christ (1895) are kept in a style that is still close to Massenet's.
His name is closely linked to the Théâtre du Jorat in Mézières VD , for which he wrote the incidental music for numerous pieces: Aliénor (1910), La Nuit des Quatre Temps (1910), Tell (1914), La Servante d'Evolène (1937 ).
