La mort d'Adam
''La mort d'Adam et son apothéose'' is a Biblical opera in 3 acts by composer Jean-François Le Sueur with a French libretto by Nicolas-François Guillard.〔(La Mort d'Adam by Le Sueur )〕
==Composition and performance history==
Le Sueur wrote the opera while working as an instructor at the Conservatoire de Musique in Paris. The opera was initially scheduled to be performed at the Conservatoire but was dropped in favor of Charles-Simon Catel's ''Sémiramis''. Upset over this decision, Le Sueur published anonymously a pamphlet entitled ''Projet d'un plan général de l'instruction musicale en France'', in which he harshly criticized the methods of instruction followed at the Conservatoire, his rival Catel, and Catel's patron, the director of the Conservatoire. Le Sueur was subsequently fired from the Conservatoire on September 23, 1802 and the composer lived in a state of poverty for about a year before he became maître de chapelle to the First Consul in Paris in early 1804.
Eventually, Le Sueur was able to mount a production of ''La mort d'Adam''. The opera was first performed at the Académie impériale in Paris on March 21, 1809,〔(CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jean-Francois Lesueur )〕 with a choreography by Louis-Jacques Milon (act 1) and Pierre-Gabriel Gardel (acts 2,3), "but it failed to arouse much enthusiasm and had to be dropped from the repertory permanently on 4 February 1810 after 16 performances".〔Pitou, p. 372.〕
