1936.[2]:227 He was greatly influenced by Balzac as a young man, and most of his best-known plays deal with the sacrifice of personal happiness to the pursuit of wealth.[3] He also wrote the libretto for Xavier Leroux's opera Les cadeaux de Noël (The Christmas Gifts) which was a great success when it premiered in Paris in 1915.[4]
Career at the Comédie-Françaiseedit
Fabre was appointed general administrator of the Comédie-Française on 2 December 1915.[2]:227 According to Susan McCready,
During Fabre's tenure, the Comédie-Française moved from the center of the theatre scene, where theatrical creation and innovation are paramount, to its periphery, where [ . . . ] its role was increasingly limited to the preservation of the past.[2]:2
In 1922 he organised the Cycle Moliere, in which all of Moliere's plays were performed in chronological order.[2]:231
The success of this event, encouraged him to organise the Centennial of Romanticism in 1927, the 100-year anniversary of Victor Hugo'sPreface de Cromwell (Qe Waleffe).[2]:232 Over the course of the Centennial the theatre staged twenty-one Romantic plays.
He resigned from the position 15 October 1936.[2]:227
