Florine Dezède (1766–1792) was a French composer, known for the opera Lucette et Lucas. She was one of the most celebrated female composers of the 1780s. [1]
Florine Dezède was the daughter of composer Nicolas Dezède. Little is known about her life. [1]
Lucette et Lucas is a one-act comédie mêlée d'ariettes with a libretto by Nicolas-Julien Forgeot. It is a sentimental story of young lovers Lucette and Lucas who must comedically outwit those opposed to their marriage. [1]
The Comédie-Italienne premiered Lucette et Lucas at the Hôtel de Bourgogne on 8 November 1781. [2] It was a mainstay of their repertoire, often paired with an opera by her father. There were 43 performances in the next decade, including one at Versailles in 1782. [1] The score was published in 1786. [2]
