Sacchini's debut in Paris with Renaud (1783) was a success, earning him the favor of Marie-Antoinette. Encouraged by the public, he enriched the repertoire of the Paris Opera with several masterpieces, some of which were staged regularly for many years. Renaud was presented almost without interruption until 1799 and was revived in 1815. This recording was made at the Arsenal of Metz in October 2012.
