Serenade in two parts on a libretto by Domenico Lalli premiered in Venice in 1726.

In the very rich relationship between Venice and Versailles which goes, around the Grand Canal, from the flotilla of Little Venice to the mirrors of the Hall of Mirrors, the works of Vivaldi played a significant role. His famous Four Seasons were performed a lot in Paris and his work La Senna festeggiant e was strictly intended to celebrate Louis XV.

This commission from the French ambassador in Venice honored the marriage of King Louis XV with Marie Leszczynska in 1725. The young king was fifteen years old, his wife twenty-two.

This great Serenade in two parts, in the format of a small opera, brings together Virtue and the Golden Age on the banks of the Seine in celebration. The glory of the King of France is allegorically magnified by particularly sumptuous and virtuoso music.

Inaugurated in 1780 for the private use of Marie-Antoinette playing before the Court, the Théâtre de la Reine is an absolute marvel: built by Richard Mique as a real theater in a small format, it still has all its old machinery, and many settings in which the Queen was able to play... Before turning away in 1784 from these theatrical performances to prefer the rural splendor of her new refuge: the Hameau de Trianon.

Presenting this work in a staging in period costume within the sumptuous mobile sets of the Théâtre de la Reine is the guarantee of an unforgettable evening.
