Massenet's first success that won him the praise of Tchaikovsky, Gounod and Bizet was his oratorio Marie-Magdeleine. The oratorio concerns the last days of Jesus from the perspective of Mary Magdalene. In its day the subject matter caused a controversy, as some believed that a physical love was implied between Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
