"Duport [first name unknown].
Cellist and harpsichordist. He was employed at the court of Louis XV, and collaborated with a certain Dugué in the composition of the opera Jupiter et Europe, performed at court in February 1749. His name is mentioned on several occasions as early as 1738 in the memoirs of the Duke of Luynes. He served as huissier de la chambre du roi, and in 1748, according to Luynes, was rewarded for his services with a snuff box bearing the portrait of the king. Luynes also referred to him as a ‘grand musicien’who played ‘fort bien’."
