Paris, 1700. Jean-Baptiste Rousseau and his circle were in the throes of developing a new literary and musical genre, the cantate française, although based on an Italian model in the Café Laurent, on the corner of the rue Laurent and the rue Christine. In order to keep his sweet-voiced mistress Mlle. De Louvancourt in good humour, Rousseau had written poems on mythological themes which he then caused to be set to music. This genre rapidly became astonishingly successful.
