« De Nina au Délire, un regain d’intérêt pour la légèreté d’Ancien Régime, face à la « terreur musicale »
This article, which is based on the comparison between Nina, opéra-comique by Marsollier and Dalayrac dating from 1786, and Le Délire, an opera by Berton on a libretto by Saint-Cyr dating from 1799, tries to testify to a certain return to lightness of Ancien-Régime in the repertoires of Parisian theaters at the end of the eighteenth century, after several years of "musical terror" during the Revolution. Forthcoming.
