Médée, a tragedy on a libretto by Thomas Corneille, was Charpentier's first and last collaboration with the Académie Royale de Musique. The work was premiered on 4.12.1693, when Charpentier was exactly fifty years old and at the height of his career. Louis XIV attended the performance, proving that it was an eagerly awaited event. Yet this sombre drama, which disconcerted the public, was withdrawn after just ten performances, and not heard again until 1976.
