After studying in Rome, Grétry settled in Paris in 1767, where he spent the remainder of his career composing over fifty operas. His works, known for their inventive melodies and dramatic depth, elevated opéra comique from simple musical plays to profound musical dramas, influencing contemporaries and future generations, including Mozart and Beethoven.
