The tragédie en musique Scylla et Glaucus is Jean-Marie Leclair’s only surviving full length opera. The refinement of the vocal parts surprised many of his contemporaries given that Leclair was basically considered an instrumental composer: by the time this music stage work was presented in 1746, his 48 violin sonatas had already been published as well as numerous trios and concertos. His musical training took place in Italy and this background is evident in his stage work. Despite the opera faithfully following the traditional tragédie en musique developed by Jean-Baptiste Lully in the 18th century, there is no avoiding the Italian stylistic notes in the music.
