Pierre Perrin was born with Lyon in 1620 and died in Paris the April 26th 1675. Invited “the Perrin abbot” without to have received the orders, it is known like poet and theorist of the opera French, of which it is regarded as the creator. With Robert Cambert, it composes the Pastorale of Issy in 1659, then Pomone in 1671, represented for the inauguration of the first public opera house opened in Paris (the Jeu of palm of the Rue Mazarine).

Louis XIV delivers in Perrin, on June 28th 1669 the privilege of the Opéra but, following vexations with two swindlers (the marquis de Sourdéac and Champeron), he is imprisoned for debts and ends up yielding his privilege to Jean-Baptiste Lully on March 16th 1672.
