Była wielką gwiazdą opery czasów Króla Słońca i bohaterką masowej wyobraźni. Równie dobrze władała niskim głosem, który dzisiaj określilibyśmy kontraltem, co szpadą. Podobno potrafiła w jednym pojedynku położyć trzech mężczyzn. Wychowana w królewskich stajniach wspięła się na sam szczyt operowego świata, a jej zbrodnie (miała na koncie podpalenie klasztoru w Awinionie!) oraz głośne romanse, także te z kobietami, wybaczał jej sam Ludwik XIV. Jednak nie tylko o skandal i sensację w tej opowieści chodzi. La Maupin, bo pod takim pseudonimem znała ją publiczność operowa Paryża, była uczestniczką rozwoju nowego gatunku muzycznego we Francji – opery. Publiczność dla niej przybywała do teatrów, kompozytorzy pisali dla niej role i na jej popularności budowali powodzenie swoich dzieł. „Tankred” André Campry był  takim sukcesem, że nie schodził z afisza wiele lat po śmierci swojego twórcy. Kim była La Maupin? Zapraszam do posłuchania! Zrealizowano w ramach stypendium Ministerstwa Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego.

Divas de la música ha habido muchas en la historia, aunque sobre todo en el siglo XX, pero ya las había antes, en el ambiente de la ópera, que ahí se movía unas pasta gansa, pero La Maupin, fue la diva definitiva, porque además de bisexual, era una experta maestra de esgrima, una macarra que buscaba movida allá donde iba y una de las mejores cantantes de su época en Francia. Fue muy intensa, pero mucho, y puso en su sitio a muchos babosos sobajosos de la época que estaban todo el día sobajeando a sus compañeras de la Académie de Musique, o sea, la Ópera Real. Murió muy enamorada, la pobre, pero no se puede decir que no tuvo una vida intensa. Hoy la música, todo barroco francés de Grand Siecle, o sea, de la época del Luis XIV: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0yQxJoGK5ZtD5xW6AWW4B4?si=7437581fe9274885

My guest this week is award-winning author Jordan Stratford, whose latest novel “La Maupin” is the second in his new Sword Girl historical YA series. “La Maupin” is based on the true story of 17-year old Julie d'Aubigny, known as La Maupin, who became an expert swordswoman, graverobber, arsonist, nun, assassin, wife, lover, and opera superstar, all before her 18th birthday. Jordan's telling is described as a blend of “French “Yé Yé” pop, 1980s Delacorta beach novella, and Luc Besson film.”In our talk, Jordan discusses what drew him to La Maupin, how he got into her mindset, how she was able to navigate so much in such a short time, and so much more. Then, he treats us to a reading from “La Maupin.”jordanstratfordbooks.comoutlandentertainment.comJoin our Book Club: patreon.com/parisundergroundradioFind Us OnlineWebsite: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/storytimeinparisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty.

Fuck it, I'm drunk and figuring it out as I go. Good luck. Thanks for listening. See you again soon for a better episode.

Show Notes: On this episode I talk to Little Deaths creator and Texas transplant - David Doub. David is the founder of Dusk Comics. His numerous publications include Dusk, Miss Tilney, Forever, Mystery Masque, and the upcoming Little Deaths. According to the interwebs, "La petite mort" (the little death), is an expression which means "the brief loss or weakening of consciousness" and in modern usage refers specifically to "the sensation of post orgasm as likened to death." The term "la petite mort" does not always apply to sexual experiences. It can also be used to describe a weakening or loss of consciousness, specifically in sleep, or when some undesired thing has happened to a person and has affected them so much that "a part of them dies inside." The Little Deaths we'll be investigating today is a 30 page full color historical fantasy adventure comic, written by David Doub and featuring art by Andrew Herman and Paul Maitland. It's based on the French historical figure Julie d'Aubigny (also known as known as Mademoiselle Maupin or La Maupin) who lived A LOT from (1670–1707). She was a duelist, popular opera singer, and apparently was not only known to dress like a man, but could kick the crap out of them in duels, too. The Kickstarter campaign for this project will launch Monday, March 15th, 2021 and will have with a spectacular cast of guest artists for special perks. I hope you're staying safe, staying warm, and staying tooned!

Julie d'Aubigny, aka Mademoiselle Maupin or La Maupin, was a controversial figure in her time. Simultaneously a beloved opera performer and a national troublemaker, she was known for living life her own way, ignoring the rules, expectations, and cultural norms for women at the time. She was twice sentenced to death for her actions, and twice pardoned by King Louis XIV for those same crimes.

Convents are meant for praying…...and love affairs…...and to be burnt down. Tune in to learn about Julie d’ Aubigny AKA La Maupin; the swashbuckling, bisexual, grand lover of a 17-century swordsperson who also sang in the opera on the side. Karamia tells Emily of this LGBTQ heroine that shocked everyone in France except for the Sun King, as well as her future biographers, whose fragile male egos could simply not handle her energy. She joined a nunnery to be with her girlfriend, and in an epic tale of body-snatching and arseny, burnt down the entire convent to escape her lover's overbearing father. She regularly beat trios of men in illegal duels and occasionally turned the men she stabbed through the shoulders into her side pieces. She also stunned Paris with her beauty on stage, and the best part, she did it all while dressed in "men’s" clothing.

Julie d'Aubigny, also known as La Maupin and Mdsll Maupin, was a 17th century celebrity. She was bisexual, and a whirlwind of fencing, seduction, and arsony. I want a movie about her LIFE immediately. There are a few in French, but most of America doesn't seem to know about her and that is ridiculous to me. So we're changing that, as of right now.

In this episode of Half-Arsed History, be entertained by the wild life story of Julie d'Aubigny - better known as La Maupin - who was a swordfighting, convent-burning, and incredibly amorous opera singer in seventeenth century France.

In this episode we discuss the life and various misadventures of La Maupin, a french opera singer and folk hero.

There are tales in history that should be told in schools, bingo halls, and every night on the 5 o’clock news.  This tale is one of those. Richard discovered what could be the most fascinating woman on the face of the earth La Maupin.   Growing up in France during a time when women were not allowed to do much of anything, La Maupin decided to follow her own light.  She drank, cursed, and fought better than any man. We also learn that she was able to take care of the ladies better than most men.   The life of La Maupin was short but she lived more than enough lifetimes for the average person. Grave robbing, Singing, sword fighting, and burning down a Nun’s home?  Yep all that and more.   Give a listen to The Language of Bromance in Episode 255 Nun Of Your Business The La Maupin Story.

Julie d'Aubigny (1670/1673–1707), better known as Mademoiselle Maupin or La Maupin, was a 17th-century swordswoman and opera singer. Her tumultuous career and flamboyant life were the subject of gossip and colourful stories in her own time, and inspired numerous portrayals afterwards. Théophile Gautier loosely based the title character, Madeleine de Maupin, of his novel Mademoiselle de Maupin (1835) on her.

Wir springen in dieser Folge ins Frankreich des 17. Jahrhunderts. Im Jahr 1673 wird hier Julie d'Aubigny geboren und schnell stellt sich raus, dass sie einen Lebensweg beschreiten wird, der für eine junge Frau dieser Zeit äußerst ungewöhnlich ist. Fechtend und singend lebt und liebt sie sich u.a. durch Paris, Marseille und Brüssel, wohl ein Grund warum sie auch heute noch als eine der bedeutendsten Opernsängerinnen Frankreichs gilt.

Nathan and Spencer discuss the life of Julie d'Aubigny, better known as La Maupin. Excitment, seduction, and many duels!

Julie D'Aubigny, also known as Mademoiselle Maupin and La Maupin, was a French opera singer and swords woman that lived in the 1600s. She was also known for her short but eventful life which made our jaws drop on occasion.

In the first episode of our Badass Women series we discuss Julie d'Aubigny, known as La Maupin. She made opera singing her profession, but she also was a 17th century pants wearing fencing expert who liked to duel, drink, and seduce men and women across France.
