Answer
The answer is symphony. Massenet was a French composer primarily known for his operas and orchestral suites. While he did compose a few symphonies, his contributions to the symphonic genre were not as significant as his operatic works. His operas, such as "Manon" and "Werther," are considered masterpieces of the French operatic repertoire.
