Who's behind the notes? Discover André Ernest Modeste Grétry: Master of French Opéra Comique
Le Jugement de Midas (1778) by Grétry is a comédie mêlée d'ariettes that humorously critiques contemporary musical tastes and social pretensions. The aria "Du destin qui t'accable" exemplifies Grétry's witty musical characterization in the Classical style.
