A.M. Grétry - La Caravane du Caire (Suite) | Classical Music

André-Modeste Grétry was originally from present-day Belgium and worked in France since 1767, where he took citizenship after the revolution. "La Caravane du Caire" was one of his most famous and popular operas in France at the time. It was first performed on October 30, 1783, and had its public premiere at the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin, the period home of the Opéra de Paris, on Jannuary 15, 1784. It had more than 500 performances at the Paris Opera until 1829, being staged annually between 1785 and 1791, as well as having further irregular stagings during the period of the Revolution. The plot follows the classic characters of the plays at the time: a couple of lovers separated by fate in an Arab country risk their lives trying to escape only to be reunited through the enlightened clemency of a ruler, the Pasha of Cairo.
