Renaud, ou La suite d'Armide ("Renaud, or the Sequel to "Armide"") is an opera by the French composer Henri Desmarets, first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opera) on 5 March 1722.
 It takes the form of a "tragédie en musique" in a prologue and five acts.
 The libretto, by Simon-Joseph Pellegrin, is based on Torquato Tasso's "Gerusalemme liberata".
 The opera is a sequel to Jean-Baptiste Lully's "Armide" (1686).
Amadis de Gaule, or Amadis des Gaules ("Amadis of Gaul"), is a French opera in three acts by the German composer Johann Christian Bach.
 The libretto is a revision by Alphonse de Vismes of "Amadis" by Philippe Quinault, originally set by Jean-Baptiste Lully in 1684, which in turn, was based on the knight-errantry romance "Amadis de Gaula" (1508).
 Bach's opera was first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique, Paris on 14 December 1779.
 It followed the contemporary French fashion for resetting libretti by Quinault ("Armide" by Gluck and "Roland" by Piccinni are other examples of this trend).
 The work was not a success with the Parisian public, mainly because it pleased neither the supporters of Gluck nor those of Piccinni, the two leading rival opera composers in France at the time.
 It was the last opera J. C. Bach composed.
Armide is an opera by Jean-Baptiste Lully.
 The libretto by Philippe Quinault is based on Torquato Tasso's poem "La Gerusalemme liberata" ("Jerusalem Delivered").

Didon is a tragédie en musique or opera in a prologue and five acts by composer Henri Desmarets.

 Following the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, Perez turned from opera mostly to church music.

 In 1999 he made his Lyric Opera of Chicago debut as Peter Niles in Levy's "Mourning Becomes Electra" followed by his La Scala debut in 2000 as Ned Keene in Britten's "Peter Grimes".
 He is particularly known for his interpretation of the title role in Debussy's "Pelléas et Mélisande" which he has performed with many companies including the Bavarian State Opera, Opéra National de Paris, Oper Leipzig, and Opéra National du Rhin among others.
 Other European appearances include Ubalde in Gluck's "Armide" at Opéra de Nice, the title role in Monteverdi's "Orfeo" at Opéra d'Avignon, and Frère Lèon in Messaien's "Saint François d'Assise" at Opéra National de Paris.

Gluck set the same libretto Philippe Quinault had written for Lully in 1686, based on Torquato Tasso's "Gerusalemme liberata" ("Jerusalem Delivered").
 Gluck seemed at ease in facing French traditions head-on when he composed "Armide".
 Lully and Quinault were the very founders of serious opera in France and "Armide" was generally recognized as their masterpiece, so it was a bold move on Gluck's part to write new music to Quinault's words.
 A similar attempt to write a new opera to the libretto of "Thésée" by Jean Joseph de Mondonville in 1765 had ended in disaster, with audiences demanding it be replaced by Lully's original.
 By utilizing "Armide", Gluck challenged the long-standing and apparently inviolable ideals of French practice, and in the process he revealed these values capable of renewal through "modern" compositional sensitivities.
 Critical response and resultant polemic resulted in one of those grand imbroglios common to French intellectual life.
 Gluck struck a nerve in French sensitivities, and whereas "Armide" was not one of his more popular works, it remained a critical touchstone in the French operatic tradition and was warmly praised by Berlioz in his "Memoirs".
 Gluck also set a minor fashion for resetting Lully/Quinault operas: Gluck's rival Piccinni followed his example with "Roland" in 1778 and "Atys" in 1780; in the same year, Philidor produced a new "Persée"; and Gossec offered his version of "Thésée" in 1782.
 Gluck himself is said to have been working on an opera based on "Roland", but he abandoned it when he heard Piccinni had taken on the same libretto.
