In this lecture, we deal with the particular position of Marc-Antoine Charpentier\u2019s trag\u00e9die en musique\u00a0David et Jonathas\u00a0(1688) on the libretto by Fran\u00e7ois Bretonneau, one of two operas based on the\u00a0Old Testament \u2212 besides Jepht\u00e9\u00a0(1732) by Michel Mont\u00e9clair \u2212 in the whole French baroque repertoire. Beyond that, the unique position of this work in the history of music lies in the fact that it is, in its first performance in the college of\u00a0Jesuits Luis le Grand\u00a0in Paris, performed in combination with the other biblical, literary drama,\u00a0Saul\u00a0by Father \u00c9tienne Chamillard. This opera is in this sense strongly marked by several crossings: of two religious and cultural paradigms, Judean and Christian \/ Catholic, of two genres, literary and musical tragedy, of two spheres, sacred and profane \u2013 the crossing obtained by the insertion of the religious subject in a secular musical genre \u2212, and finally, of musical generic models, also involving a stylistic and musical poetic mixture that come from this opposition. The conference will focus on these multiple crossings, giving this Charpentier\u2019s opera a special place in the French and European lyric field.<\/p>\n\n
