Ariodant
''Ariodant'' is an ''opéra comique'' (''drame mêlé de musique'') in three acts by the French composer Étienne Méhul first performed at the Théâtre Favart in Paris on 11 October 1799. The libretto,〔Period French libretto: ''Ariodant, Drame en trois actes et en prose, mêlé de musique; Représenté pour la première fois le 19 Vendémiaire, an 7, sur le Théâtre Favart'', Paris, Huet/Charon, 1802 (accessible on line as a (Google ebook-gratis ))〕 by François-Benoît Hoffman is based on the same episode in Ariosto's ''Orlando Furioso'' that also inspired Handel's opera ''Ariodante''. The work had a profound influence on the development of Romantic opera, particularly in Germany.
==Performance history==
The premiere took place on 11 October 1799. There were fears that the success of the opera might be damaged by the plot's similarity to Henri Montan Berton's ''Montano et Stéphanie'', which had debuted on 15 April of the same year. In the event, the audience was warmly appreciative and Méhul appeared on stage at the end to take their applause (Hoffman had been kept at home by illness). Méhul dedicated the score to his friend Luigi Cherubini.〔Adélaïde de Place, p.118〕 〔Winton Dean has commented: "Othon (villain of ''Ariodant'' ) is probably Méhul's most memorable character as Medea is Cherubini's; both are the slaves of passion and each composer dedicated his work to the other." (Dean in Abraham, p.61〕
