Jean
Baptiste Lully, who had become popular for composing ballets for Louis XIV,
started making a French version of the Italian opera serie, a type of tragic
opera called tragedie lyrique or tragedie en musique (French lyric tragedy).
His first was the Cadmus from 1673; Lully’s forays into operatic tragedy were
followed by the pinnacle of French theatrical tragedy, led by Corneille and
Racine. Lully also made the common sound patterns used by conductor to this
day, and was the first to take the role of leading the group from the position
of the first violin.
