RISM G4438. Silvain to a libretto by Marmontel after S. Gessner's Erast was first performed in Paris at the Comedie Italienne Bourgogne on February 19 1770. "Grétry's operas which enjoyed such a vogue in France. cannot be judged without the contribution of his librettists. Nevertheless full credit must be given to his own contributions to the planning partly revealed in his Réflexions d'un solitaire as well as his unrelenting desire to extend the scope of both opéra comique and opéra. Grétry's very attractive melodic gift was an essential ingredient and helps justify the occasional revival of his music. With his librettists he brought to life a range of splendidly imagined characters ranging from bumpkins to monarchs or from a rebellious female warrior to the murderous Bluebeard. His best scores had wide currency especially in Germany: it is hard to imagine the evolution of opéra comique and Romantic opera in general without the part played by his works."

A comédie-parade in one act to a libretto by Louis Anseaume Le Tableau Parlant was first performed in Paris at the Comédie-Italienne Hôtel de Bourgogne on September 20 1769. "The originality of Grétry's opera emphasized by Grimm in the Correspondance littéraire is founded on its witty approach to the characters: the music dovetails sudden changes in their feelings and in particular captures ironic and self-ironic expressions. The farcical side of the opera is counterbalanced by lyrical amorous duets between the two couples." Michael Fend in Grove Music Online. "Grétry's operas which enjoyed such a vogue in France. cannot be judged without the contribution of his librettists.

Lucile to a libretto by Marmontel after his L'école des pères was first performed in Paris at the Comédie-Italiennes Hôtel de Bourgogne on January 5 1769. The plot centers around the daughter of working man who enters a bourgeois family. "Lucile was Grétry's most popular opéra comique for more than ten years. Its sentimental solutions to problems of social inequity tapped enormous resources of public sympathy; audiences could identify with either party still be satisfied and emerge both 'weeping and enchanted' as described by Louis Petit de Bachaumont in his Mémoirs secrets iv 1787 pp.208-9. The music spans a considerable range of feeling and drama with Blaise's F minor character portrait 'Ah! ma femme!' as the linchpin of the whole." David Charlton in Grove Music Online. M.
