Loves of Ragonde
the Loves of Ragonde , subtitled Taken care of the village , is a opera of Jean-Joseph Mouret. The librettist is Philippe Néricault Destouches.
It is typically about a comic work by its characters, his language parodying the country speech, its history, but also by a certain side pastiche of the philosopher's stones of Jean-Baptiste Lully.
The characters are typified: Hake and Colette will be taken again by Marivaux and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the character of Ragonde, old country-woman a little revêche, is resulting from other older parts.
The first representation takes place in December 1714 with the castle of Sceaux during the thirteenth one of 16 Grandes Nights , organized by the duchess of Maine, Anne-Louise-Benedicte of Bourbon-Cop. The opera was not played any more of living of the type-setter - deceased insane in 1738. The partition is redécouverte by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Jean-Philippe Rameau a few years later: it is altered and played in front of Louis XV and Madam de Pompadour. It is this version of 1742 which arrived until our days, original work having been lost.
The execution of work takes approximately an hour.
