[Arnould, Sophie. (1740-1802)] Douglas, Robert. . Sophie Arnould: Actress and Wit. Paris: C. Carrington. 1898. First edition. Limited edition, 1/500. 8vo, orig. pink/purple silk; corners & spine ends scuffed. With 7 copper plate engravings by Adolphe Lalauze.
Arnould's "performance in sacred music impressed the royal family and Mme de Pompadour, and she was appointed to the Opéra, studying declamation with Clairon and singing with Marie Fel. Her voice was sweet and expressive, not powerful, supported by fine diction and acting. She was the leading Opéra soprano from 1757 (début in Mouret’s Les amours des dieux) to 1778. She sang over 30 roles, by Lully, Rameau, Rousseau (Le devin du village) and others; several she created, but her greatest was Telaira in Rameau’s Castor et Pollux." (Grove Online)
