One of the most beloved heroes of the stage, Cyrano de Bergerac is a magnificent wit who, despite his many gifts, feels that no woman can ever love him because of his enormous nose. He adores the beautiful Roxanne but, lacking courage, decides instead to help the tongue-tied but winsome Christian woo the fair lady by providing him with flowery sentiments and soulful poetry. Roxanne is smitten-but is it Christian she loves or Cyrano? A triumph from the moment of its 1897 premiere, Cyrano de Bergerac has become one of the most frequently produced plays in the world. Its perennial popularity is a tribute to the universal appeal of its themes and characters.… (meer)

E che dovrei fare?
Cercare un protettore potente,
di un padrone farmi servente,
e come un'edera scura che si avvince a un tronco
e lo corteggia leccandogli la corteccia,
arrampicarmi con l'astuzia invece di elevarmi con la forza?
No, grazie. […] Ma... cantare,
sognare, ridere, muoversi, esser solo, esser libero,
aver vista cristallina e voce argentina,
quando va, mettersi il cappello di traverso,
per un sì, per un no, battersi – o scrivere un verso!
Lavorare senza preoccuparsi di gloria e fortuna,
per quel viaggio tanto pensato sulla luna!


Cirano è una delle mie canzoni preferite di Francesco Guccini. Quindi, ad oggi, mi chiedo come mai ho aspettato così tanto per leggere Cyrano de Bergerac di Rostand. Nel caso non conosceste nessuno dei due, vi invito ad ascoltare la prima e leggere il secondo, perché sono entrambi meravigliosi.

Uomo refrattario al compromesso, Cyrano è pronto a difendere le proprie opinioni con spada e lingua tagliente e a guardare con disprezzo chi non ha la medesima forza. Non gli importa se questo suo comportamento gli fa guadagnare numerosi nemici, anzi se ne compiace (Dispiacere è il mio piacere. / Amo esser odiato.). Cyrano è semplicemente troppo nobile d'animo per abbassarsi ad essere un leccac**o come tanti: sa che ottenere il successo tramite il servilismo non sarebbe degno di lui.

È un personaggio estremo, Cyrano, e anche contraddittorio: da un uomo così votato all'autenticità non ci aspetteremmo che accetti di celare la sua parola elegante dietro il bell'aspetto dell'amico Cristiano per far sì che quest'ultimo conquisti l'incantevole Rossana. Già, perché?

Sapendo che il vero Cyrano de Bergerac (il personaggio storico, intendo) era omosessuale, le interpretazioni di quest'amore per interposta persona si sprecano. Personalmente, questa vicenda mi ha richiamato alla mente il De Profundis di Oscar Wilde.

Infatti, così come Wilde rifiutò gli appoggi per uscire libero dal tribunale, Cyrano rinuncia a dire la verità a Rossana. Pur nella diversità delle due vicende, Wilde e Cyrano mi sono sembrati accomunati dalla stessa impossibilità di discostarsi dai loro principi. Erano (o si sentivano) troppo grandi per abbassarsi e svilirsi così. Come dice Wilde nel De Profundis, solo i peccati dell'anima sono vergognosi. Cyrano (come Wilde) non è uno sciocco: sa che quella vicenda, quell'inganno non può finire bene, eppure vi si dedica alacremente e ottiene il cuore di Rossana per Cristiano. E alla fine, quando arriverà la sconfitta, troverà la forza di accoglierla in piedi, con spada e lingua sguainate, fiero di aver combattuto anche con la consapevolezza di una disfatta certa. ( )

More like a 2.5 star book.

I liked how it started, with people of all sorts coming in to see a play. It was fun to think about the different types of people portrayed, and how over the centuries us humans don't really change that much. There's always the stuffy middle-agers taking themselves very seriously, the young fellas pulling pranks and acting out, the vain young men strutting around and provoking others. It's somehow sweet to see. All that happened during the acts in the theater was tops.

Then came the wooing, the main event. What an absolute snooze-fest. Cyrano's long-windedness, which is what Roxane loves most about him/Christian, is flat-out boring to this modern reader. We get it, she's hot and you have the feels, WRAP IT UP.

Then we are on the frontlines of a siege in the war between France and Spain. Here things perked up considerably. And that moment when Roxane's carriage rolls into camp - I about died! It was so unexpected and brilliant. This love triangle is brought to a head, but then with a little twist our author avoids the explosion. What what what?! So then does Roxane marry Cyrano to give us the happy ending, or does she marry the villain-whose-name-I-forget and break our hearts? OMG NEITHER. It is so perfectly done.

So the first and last acts were really good, but that middle dragged the whole thing down. I've got it at 2 stars right now, but as it percolates in my subconscious and conscious over the next few days I might bump it up. ( )

I think this reread (via the LATW website) was my 4th or 5th time. While I enjoyed it as always, this translation by Anthony Burgess wasn't the best one I have experienced. Or maybe it was the way the play was adapted... in any case, something about it was just not up to my expectations. However, the interview with Sue Lloyd, author of The Man Who Was Cyrano: A Life of Edmond Rostand, included at the conclusion of the play brings my rating up to 4.5*. I had no idea that Cyrano & Roxanne were historical figures from the 17th century! I had assumed that Rostand had made them up.

This recording has the following cast:
Caroline Aaron as Lise/Mother Marguerite
Hugo Armstrong as Le Bret
Kalen Harriman as Foodseller/Others
Gregory Itzin as Comte De Guiche
Hamish Linklater as Cyrano
Anna Mathias as Duenna/Others
Morgan Ritchie as Valvert/Bellerose/Others
Jason Ritter as Christian
André Sogliuzzo as Ragueneau/Ligniere/Others
Devon Sorvari as Roxane
Matthew Wolf as Cuigy/Others ( )
