Les Horaces ''Les Horaces'' (''The Horatii'') is an operatic tragédie lyrique by Antonio Salieri. The text was by Nicolas-François Guillard after Pierre Corneille's ''Horace''. The opera was commissioned by the Paris Opera after the success of Salieri's ''Les Danaïdes'' with the company. ==Performance history==
According to different sources, ''Les Horaces'' was first performed either at Fontainebleau on 2 November 1786,〔the libretto bears such a notation (Pitou, "''Les Horaces''" (Salieri), p. 277)〕 or at Versailles on 2 December 1786.〔as reported by Théodore de Lajarte in his (''Bibliothèque musicale du théâtre de l'Opéra'' (online at Internet Archive) ), Paris, 1876, I, p. 353〕 According to Spire Pitou, however, both dates seem to be errors and "the correct date of the world première of Salieri's ''Les Horaces'' is 7 December 1786 at the Royal Academy of Music ...".〔Pitou, "''Les Horaces''" (Salieri), pp. 277-78〕 Whatever the case, it was not well received.〔(Classy Classical: Antonio Salieri: Truth or Fiction )〕 The failure of the opera to some extent has been blamed on the lackluster performances of the original performers.〔(Antonio Salieri ). "Yet -retorts Pitou- the best voices of the company had been cast in this failure..." ("''Les Horaces''" (Salieri), p. 279〕
