- Nota:
- Sacchini's Renaud was first performed on 28 February 1783 by the Académie Royale de Musique at the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin in Paris. It takes the form of a tragédie lyrique in three acts. The French libretto, by Jean-Joseph Lebœuf is based on Cantos XVII and XX of Torquato Tasso's epic poem Gerusalemme liberata and, more directly, on the five-act tragedy by Simon-Joseph Pellegrin, Renaud, ou La suite d'Armide, which had been set to music by Henri Desmarets in 1722 and was intended as a sequel to Lully's famous opera Armide. According to Théodore Lajarte, Lebœuf was helped by Nicolas-Étienne Framery, the regular translator of Sacchini's libretti. (Wikipedia)
Print plates of the score are identical with Le Duc's Edition of 1783, but title page differs ("Gravée par Huguet Musicien de la Comédie Italienne. A Paris, chez l'Auteur, rue Basse du Rempart no17, et aux adresses ordinaires de Musique. A.P.D.R. Imprimée par Basset"), and a dedication page to the Queen is added.
The opera has two extensive ballets (ends of act 1 & 3). - Permalink:
