Camargo Lyonois Thierry Dazenoncourt Sauvage Beaufort and Briseval; Mrs. Dupré Dumay Matignon Hamoche and Caillé; Monsieurs Tessier and Levoir "Although not prolific Montéclair wrote in most of the genres cultivated during the early 18th century in France excepting only the keyboard. He was one of the most versatile of the generation between Lully's death 1687 and Rameau's advent as a stage composer 1733; composers of this 'préramiste' period are often described as 'imitators of Lully' but Montéclair and Campra are among those who influenced Rameau's dramatic music. In his stage works Montéclair was particularly sensitive to the dramatic function of orchestral colour. His operatic scores are much clearer than those of his contemporaries in giving directions for specific instruments like the off-stage horns 'played very softly to simulate the hunt in the distance' in the second entrée of Les festes de l'été Montéclair added that 'if no cors de chasse are available oboes and violins may play the following and remain in the orchestra'. In the same work a 'Prélude à trois basses' introduces the first scene of the third entrée where the main roles are sung by basses; the prelude to the second scene whose main roles are sung by sopranos is scored for violins and violas without continuo. The parts enter in reverse order and the melodic material is derived from the earlier prelude ex.1. Les festes de l'été and Jephté both contain an a cappella chorus and the former has a large-scale double chorus - an operatic counterpart to the choruses in Lalande's grands motets." James R.

1817réf. AQ35159London: s.n. 1817. Single leaf broadside. Browned with staining and chipping to edges and some loss to upper right corner. An apparently unrecorded playbill displaying an early effort by London's Lyceum Theatre renamed The English Opera House in the summer of 1817 to present an illumination of the 'audience part of the theatre' during a performance of The Persian Hunters or the Rose of Gurgistan a comic opera featuring music by English composer Charles Edward Horn 1786-1849. Although the use of gaslight in street-lamps had first been demonstrated a decade prior in 1807 the goal to introduce gaslighting to the commercial stage took years to evolve into the competitive landscape of 1817 where three of London's premier West End venues the Theatre Royal Covent Garden Theatre Royal Drury Lane and the Lyceum Theatre entered into a rapid race to produce the first fully-gaslit public performances in a West End venue. The Royalty an East End theatre later renamed The East London Theatre had previously installed gas piping and lighting fixtures across both the auditorium and the stage in 1816 demonstrating the viability of such a project. The English Opera House led by director Samuel Arnold proudly boasted on August 6 1817 that 'Gas Lighting will this evening be introduced over the whole stage' seemingly claiming themselves the winners of the century's most contested technical theatre contest. Despite this the lack of an illuminated auditorium meant that the theatre's audience remained in candlelight until a month later when the venue opened fully illuminated for the first time. The Theatre Royal Drury Lane despite only revealing its gaslit stage on the 6th September 1817 was able to argue that due to their introduction of gaslighting into the auditorium several weeks prior they were in fact the first of the three theatres to achieve the much vied- for feat. On the same night The Theatre Royal Covent Garden also offered a demonstration of gaslight on their stage finally concluding the rivalry and introducing a vital element of technical staging into London's leading venues for the remainder of the century. .
