    "Vigarani, Carlo (b Reggio nell’Emilia, c1623; d ?Paris, 17 Feb 1713). Italian theatre architect and scene designer, son of Gaspare Vigarani. With his brother Lodovico, he accompanied his father to Paris in 1659, and in 1662 was invited back by Louis XIV to design court entertainments. As part of a triumvirate with Lully and Molière, he was responsible for a series of festivities mostly at Versailles in 1664, 1668 and 1674. […] Each consisted of several divertissements, comedy-ballets or operas commissioned for the occasion, including La Princesse d’Elide, George Dandin, Les fêtes de l’Amour et de Bacchus, Alceste (Quinault–Lully), and Le malade imaginaire (Molière-Charpentier). In 1673 he received French citizenship and in 1679 was appointed ‘inventor of machines for theatres, ballets and royal festivities’. With Lully, he directed the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opéra) according to the ‘Act de Société’of 1672. Although he broke with Lully in 1680, Vigarani continued to provide at court the sets and machinery for the composer’s operas until 1685. He also designed the first theatre used by the Opéra, the Salle Jeu de Paume de Béquet, and renovated the Théâtre du Palais Royal. […]"
