La Journée Aux Aventures
''La journée aux aventures'' (''The Day of Adventures'') is an opera by the French composer Étienne Méhul. It takes the form of an ''opéra comique'' in three acts. It was first performed at the Opéra-Comique, Paris on 16 November 1816. The libretto is by Pierre-David-Augustin Chapelle and Louis Mezières-Miot. This was the last of the composer's works to be premiered in his lifetime and was a great success; it enjoyed 66 performances before the end of 1817 and helped remedy the financial problems of the Opéra-Comique. It was revived to acclaim in a German translation in Berlin in December 1839.Adélaïde de Place, pp.147–148 Roles References Sources *Printed score: ''La Journée aux Aventures//Opéra Comique en trois Actes et en Prose, Paroles de MM.
