''Thérèse'' is an opera in two acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Jules Claretie. While ''Thérèse'' remains among Massenet's lesser-known works, the piece has spawned a number of revivals and recordings. ==Performance history== ''Thérèse'' was first performed at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo on 7 February 1907, featuring Lucy Arbell in the title role, Edmond Clément as Armand de Clerval and Hector Dufranne as André Thorel. For the Paris premiere at the Opéra-Comique in 1911, Arbell and Clément repeated their roles, while the off-stage harpsichord in the minuet was played by Louis Diémer; the work on this occasion was paired in a double-bill with the premiere of Ravel's ''L'heure espagnole''.〔Stoullig E.
