L’opéra à la cour au temps de Louis XVI (1770-1789) : un genre de cour ?

Thomas Soury

Abstrak

The end of the reign of Louis XV and the reign Louis XVI were propitious periods for the development of opera at court. The inauguration in 1770 of the theatre designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel was the symbol of this new era: for the first time, the Château de Versailles had a permanent theatre specially designed for opera. Even so, the court – split between extraordinary occasions and ordinary performances – continued to put on shows in numerous venues. It also adapted its resources and works to suit the occasion. This article examines the programming at court between 1770 and 1789 in relation to its venues and the works performed, in an attempt to outline what might be considered court taste, or even court opera.
