Renaud (Desmarets)

Renaud, ou La suite d'Armide ("Renaud, or the Sequel to "Armide"") is an opera by the French composer Henri Desmarets, first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opera) on 5 March 1722. It takes the form of a "tragédie en musique" in a prologue and five acts. The libretto, by Simon-Joseph Pellegrin, is based on Torquato Tasso's "Gerusalemme liberata". The opera is a sequel to Jean-Baptiste Lully's "Armide" (1686). 
The libretto had an influence on Antonio Sacchini's opera "Renaud", first performed in 1783.
