Description

  • Content Description: Libretto of the comic opera "Le tonnelier" (The cooper) by Nicolas-Médard Audinot in collaboration with Antoine-François Quétant. The music of this one-act opera is a pasticcio of works by Gossec and other contemporaneous composers. Typical of the genre, the opera contains a variety of musical forms (airs, romance, vaudeville, and recitatives) and the dialogues are interspersed with additional airs, possibly using popular tunes. This copy includes (on pp. 52 and 54-56) notated melodies of airs.

Note

  • Display Note: Full title as it appears on the title page: "Le tonnelier, opéra-comique, mêlé d'ariettes. Représenté par les comédiens italiens ordinaires du roi, le 16 mars 1765." Although "Le tonnelier" was preceded by a 1761 opéra comique bearing the the same title with both libretto and music by Audinot, Gossec's fast-paced version rendered it more popular than its predecessor.
