Please take note: this is not an opera by Jean-Féry Rebel. Instead, it’s a tragédie en musique by his son, François Rebel (1701–1775), and by fellow composer François Francœur (1698–1787), a member of yet-another French musical dynasty. They collaborated professionally in 18 stage works spread over roughly 45 years. Pirame et Thisbè of 1726 was the first of these, dubbed l’opéra des enfants at the time because of the youth of the pair. They clearly saw it coming, along with the implied charge of audacity, because their preface to the opera refers to “our illustrious predecessors” and concludes defensively with the following: “Monsieur de Lully has been our master and our model; you are our judges.” (continue)
