Editing Jacques Ibert (section)

===Later years===
The war years were difficult for Ibert. In 1940 the [[Vichy France|Vichy government]] banned his music and he retreated to [[Antibes]], in the south of France, and later to Switzerland and the [[Haute-Savoie]]. In August 1944, he was readmitted to the musical life of the country when [[Charles de Gaulle|General de Gaulle]] recalled him to Paris. In 1955 Ibert was appointed administrator of the Réunion des Théâtres Lyriques Nationaux, which ran both the [[Paris Opera]] and the [[Opéra-Comique]]. After less than a year, his health obliged him to retire. Shortly afterwards he was elected to the [[Académie des Beaux-Arts]].<ref name=grove/>
