Louis Hurtaut Dancourt[1] (1725 – 29 July 1801) was a French librettist, dramatist, and actor.[2]
Careeredit
He was born Louis Heurteaux in Paris, and later adopted Dancourt as a pseudonym.[3] He was unsuccessful in Paris as an actor and appeared in the French provinces in Rennes, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, and Rouen, as well as outside France in Bayreuth, Munich, Berlin, and Brussels.[2]
In Berlin after 1755, he wrote the libretto of Le triple horoscope, a divertissement with music composed by Gaultier. In 1762, with a favorable recommendation from Charles Simon Favart, he joined the French company performing in Vienna. His libretto for La rencontre imprévue, ou Les pèlerins de la Mecque (1763), a three-act opéra-comique, was set to music by Christoph Willibald Gluck and first performed on 7 January 1764 in Vienna. Dancourt was able to mount revivals in Brussels in 1765, Bordeaux (as Ali et Rezia) in 1766, and Paris (as Les fous de Médine, ou La rencontre imprévue, with music arranged by Jean-Pierre Solié) in 1790. It was adapted and translated into Italian by Carl Friberth and inspired Haydn's L'incontro improvviso (1775).[2]
In addition to his career as an actor and librettist, Dancourt authored a rebuttal to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Letter to M. D'Alembert on Spectacles. Rousseau had argued against the city of Geneva building a theater, arguing that it would corrupt their egalitarian republican principles. He had also argued against women appearing in public and had attacked their virtue. In Dancourt's response, Dancourt, Arlequin de Berlin à M. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, he defends the morality of the theater as well as the virtue and intellectual capacity of women, and he makes a vigorous argument in favor of women's education.
^He often published under Dancourt or L. H. Dancourt. He was born Louis Heurteaux (also spelled Hurtaut) and adopted Dancourt as a pseudonym. The latter name is also sometimes given as d'Ancourt.
