COYPEL Charles-Antoine. (1694-1752).
MANUSCRIT autograph, Protée-Vertumne ou les Deux Vertumnes, Ballet en trois actes, avec un Prologue | cahier in-4 de 11 feuillets (titre et 20 pages), sous couverture (fortes mouillures).
Complete manuscript of this unpublished opera-ballet libretto.
The painter and engraver Charles-Antoine Coypel was also a playwright and director of the Académie royale de musique| only one of his forty or so plays was published, Les Folies de Cardenio. The Duc de La Vallière owned a manuscript of Charles Coypel's Théâtre, in 6 volumes in-4, containing 21 plays (no. 3463): "All these plays by Charles Coypel, from a family rich in painters, who died in 1752, have not been printed. He was very jealous not to make them public, &| it is by a proof of the greatest confidence that M le Duc de la Vallière had a copy of all those he confessed."
An opera-ballet in 3 acts and a prologue on the same subject, Les Amours de Protée, to a libretto by Joseph de La Font, was set to music by Charles-Hubert Gervais and performed at the Académie royale de musique on May 23, 1720.
The Prologue features the Corybantes, "ministers of the Goddess Cybèle", the "Inhabitants of the principal towns of Crete", the "Inhabitants of the countryside of Crete, shepherds and shepherdesses", and Jupiter. The actors in the 3-act play are Pomona, "Goddess of Fruits, lover of Vertumne", the nymph Therone "lover of Proteus", Proteus "son and shepherd of the god Neptune", Vertumne "God of Gardens", lover of Pomona, Triton "friend and confidant of Proteus", Sylvain "friend and confidant of Vertumne", and troops of Egyptian men and women, nymphs from Pomona's retinue, gardeners, sylvans and dryads from Neptune's retinue, tritons and nereids from Proteus' retinue. The scene is "in the Isle of Crete".
The manuscript is written in 2 columns, with erasures and corrections, and several altered passages pinned to the original version.
