Sabinus (opera)
''Sabinus'' is an opera by the composer François-Joseph Gossec. It originally took the form of a ''tragédie lyrique'' in five acts (later reduced to four). The French-language libretto, by Michel Paul Guy de Chabanon, concerns the revolt of the Gaulish nobleman Julius Sabinus and his wife Epponina (Éponine) against Roman rule. The opera had its first performance at Versailles on 4 December 1773 in the presence of King Louis XV, before transferring to the Paris Opéra on 22 February 1774. ''Sabinus'' was not a success, even in a revised four-act version, and was soon withdrawn. Assessments of the music has been mixed, but some modern critics share Gossec's view that ''Sabinus'' prefigures the revolution in operatic practice Christoph Willibald von Gluck would soon introduce to Paris.
==Composition==
Chabanon had written a play on the subject, ''Éponine'', in 1762. He later transformed it into a tragedy, ''Sabinus'', which was performed at the Comédie-Française in 1770, but audiences were unenthusiastic. Undiscouraged, Chabanon decided to turn the piece into a libretto for a ''tragédie lyrique'', which he offered to Gossec the following year. The composer and Chabanon already knew one other because Chabanon was a violinist as well as an author. By the summer of 1773, the score was ready and went into rehearsal at the Théâtre des Menus Plaisirs on 8 June. Further rehearsals (there were nine in all) took place at the Opéra Royal de Versailles in November.〔Role, p.84〕
