N2 - This research concerns the private theatre activity of Louis de Bourbon-Condé, comte de Clermont (1701-1771), principally at his residence at Berny. After a résumé of private theatre premieres of opéra-comique given at a range of private theatres, the music-theatre interests of Clermont are investigated, and not least the evidence from a letter that he intended to publish music.In 1752 Clermont commissioned his secretary Collé to create a comedy in French made out of newly-popular music from 'La serva padrona', 'Il giocatore' and 'Il maestro di musica'. The resulting 'intermède' was 'Le Jaloux corrigé' (Berny, 18 November 1752). This was indeed published, and reviewed in 'Mercure de France', before being transferred to the Paris Opéra stage where it was sung by the visiting Italian soloists of Eustaccio Bambini. After consideration of the new style of recitatives composed by Michel Blavet the study concludes by identifying further oblong-shaped scores that may well have appeared under Clermont's patronage, 'La scaltra governatrice', 'Tracollo', 'Il cinese rimpatriato' and 'Les Bohémiennes', which last was dedicated to Clermont by Bambini's arranger, Giuseppe Cosimi.
