Grand coiffure and outfit à la Caravanne: new Costume which was shown in the Opera of the same name. (1785)
"The
Caravan of Cairo, an opera in three acts, shown for the first time at the theater of the Court on October 30, is the second work after
Didon which had been a decided success. The words are by M. Morel and the music by our charming Grêtry ... One has criticized the plan of the poem: one has reproached him that the interest of the action was too much suspended, nearly nothing in the second act; the style seems in general more
négligé, sometimes even in a bad tone: but all the enthusiasm which inspired the opera of
Didon has not prevented us from finding in the music of this one much freshness, grace, and sensibility."
