Canente (Dauvergne)
Canente (English: Canens) is an opera by the French composer Antoine Dauvergne, first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opéra) on 11 November 1760. It takes the form of a tragédie lyrique in five acts. It was Dauvergne's second work in the genre, following Énée et Lavinie (1758). Canente enjoyed 22 performances between its premiere and 11 January 1761.
The text is a revision, by Bay de Cury, of a libretto by Antoine Houdar de la Motte, which was originally set by Pascal Collasse in 1700.
