History

Opéra comique is French opera with spoken dialogue between the numbers, and despite the name it need not be comic: its most famous example, Bizet's Carmen, is a tragedy. It began in the early 18th century at the Paris fairs of Saint-Germain and Saint-Laurent, where satirical plays mocked the official theatres with vaudevilles, popular tunes fitted with new words. The turning point came in 1752, when an Italian troupe played Pergolesi's La serva padrona in Paris and set off the Querelle des Bouffons; Rousseau answered with his own opera, Le Devin du village. The next year Jean Monnet commissioned Antoine Dauvergne's Les troqueurs and passed it off as the work of an Italian composer living in Vienna, fooling the pro-Italian camp into praising it. Newly written ariettes replaced the borrowed tunes, and the 1750s and 1760s became a heyday with Duni, Monsigny and Philidor, whose Tom Jones followed Fielding's novel. André Grétry became the most popular composer of the late 18th century, and his Richard Coeur-de-lion travelled as far as London and Boston. In the Revolutionary years opéra comique grew darker and more Romantic, comedy crept back under Napoleon, and in the 19th century the genre pulled toward both Bizet's drama and Offenbach's operetta.
