Sacchini's Renaud: a controversial new work

When Antonio Sacchini arrived in Paris in 1781, his stay there had been on the cards for quite some time. The Opéra – Académie Royale de Musique – had already approached him in 1775, but he had preferred to remain in London, basking in the fame he had been enjoying there in recent years. Some time later, however, deeply in debt and under fire for his dissolute ways, he had begun seriously to think about leaving the country. So the renewed invitation from the directors of the Opéra in the early 1780s proved timely.
