"Lucile was Grétry's most popular opéra comique for more than ten years. Its sentimental solutions to problems of social inequity tapped enormous resources of public sympathy; audiences could identify with either party still be satisfied and emerge both 'weeping and enchanted' as described by Louis Petit de Bachaumont in his Mémoirs secrets iv 1787 pp.208-9. The music spans a considerable range of feeling and drama with Blaise's F minor character portrait 'Ah! ma femme!' as the linchpin of the whole." David Charlton in Grove Music Online. M.

Gessner's Erast was first performed in Paris at the Comedie Italienne Bourgogne on February 19 1770.<br/><br/>"Grétry's operas which enjoyed such a vogue in France. cannot be judged without the contribution of his librettists. Nevertheless full credit must be given to his own contributions to the planning partly revealed in his Réflexions d'un solitaire as well as his unrelenting desire to extend the scope of both opéra comique and opéra. Grétry's very attractive melodic gift was an essential ingredient and helps justify the occasional revival of his music. With his librettists he brought to life a range of splendidly imagined characters ranging from bumpkins to monarchs or from a rebellious female warrior to the murderous Bluebeard. His best scores had wide currency especially in Germany: it is hard to imagine the evolution of opéra comique and Romantic opera in general without the part played by his works."

RISM Écrits p. 379. The first volume was published in 1789 and reissued when the two additional volumes were first published in 1797. <br /> <br /> Grétry "made decisive contributions to the scope and style of the 18th-century opéra comique and to technical aspects such as musical 'local colour' and the design of overtures. His opéras comiques and recitative comedies for the Paris Opéra enjoyed unparalleled success in the 20 years up to the French Revolution. Many of his works were staged abroad and a number were revived in the early 19th century in Paris: several survived through the middle decades albeit with updated orchestration. . His Mémoires are essential reading for the detailed account of his operas his musical and dramatic theories and his unabashed self-projection." M. Elizabeth C. Bartlet and David Charlton in Grove Music Online. L'Imprimerie de la République, Pluviôse, An V. unknown
