Roland (Piccinni)
''Roland'' is a tragédie lyrique in three acts by the composer Niccolò Piccinni. The opera was a new setting of a libretto written by Philippe Quinault for Jean-Baptiste Lully in 1685, specially adapted for Piccinni by Jean-François Marmontel. The opera was first performed on 27 January 1778 by the Académie Royale de Musique (Paris Opera) at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal.〔Rushton 2001, p. 674; Pitou 1985, vol. 2, pp. 472–473 (theatre). Pitou has the incorrect date 17 January 1778 for the premiere.〕
==Background and performance history==
''Roland'' was the first opera Piccinni wrote for Paris. He had been hired by the Académie royale de musique in 1776, in spite of his ignorance of the French language. Piccinni still knew no French when he was composing ''Roland'' and had to be helped all the way by his librettist Marmontel, who provided a translation of every word along with details on how to accentuate it correctly. Marmontel also helped Piccinni come to terms with the French style of opera, which was very different from the Italian. The French preferred short arias, accompanied recitative and plenty of dance movements. In spite of these obstacles, ''Roland'' was a great success at its premiere.
''Roland'' forms part of a late 18th century vogue for resetting libretti Quinault had written for Lully, the first major French opera composer, almost one hundred years before. Another famous example is Gluck's ''Armide'' (1776). In fact, Gluck - who was regarded as Piccinni's rival in Paris - was said to have abandoned work on his own setting of ''Roland'' when he learnt of Piccinni's version.〔Rushton 2001, p. 674.〕 Piccinni went on to set another Quinault libretto, ''Atys'', in 1779.
