    Objet [extrait de:] KENT M. SMITH/ELISABETH COOK: 'Duni, Egidio', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 7 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
    "Duni was the fourth son of Francesco Duni, maestro di cappella in Matera, and the younger brother of Antonio Duni. […] Nerone, his first opera, was staged during the Rome spring season of 1735, and after composing works for Rome and Milan in Carnival 1736 Duni went to London, where his Demofoonte was performed in an English version in May 1737. Further operas were written for Milan in 1739 and for Florence in 1740 and 1743. On 16 December 1743 Duni was appointed maestro di cappella of S Nicola di Bari and, with Ipermestra and Ciro riconosciuto (both 1748, Genoa), he came to the attention of the Duke of Richelieu and Philip, Duke of Parma. Soon after, he became court maestro di cappella in Parma and music teacher to the duke’s daughter Isabella, later Empress of Austria.
    […] The French atmosphere of the Parma court turned Duni’s attention to the opéra comique […] Jean Monnet, director of the Paris Opéra-Comique, reported in his memoirs that in autumn 1756 he received a request from Parma for a French libretto for Duni, who wished to write an opera for Paris. The result, after hesitation on Monnet’s part, was Louis Anseaume’s Le peintre amoureux de son modèle, for whose first performance on 26 July 1757 Duni went to Paris. This was a brilliant success […]
    Released with a pension from his post in Parma, Duni settled in Paris, married and, during 1758–60, strengthened his reputation with several successful opéras comiques. In 1761 he was appointed music director of the Comédie-Italienne but, ironically, a number of his new works for that theatre were not well received. […]
    During the 18 months between the première of La clochette in July 1766 and that of Les moissonneurs in January 1768, Duni apparently made a visit to Italy. […] on 26 November 1768 both he and Favart were given pensions by the Comédie-Italienne. After Thémire (1770) he retired, continuing to teach and occasionally to judge musical competitions."
