Commentary
Âgé de soixante ans, Louis XV, ayant perdu son fils Louis en 1765, voulait marier le dauphin, le futur Louis XVI, âgé de seize ans. Il lui fit épouser la fille de l'impératrice Marie-Thérèse et de l'empereur François Ier : Marie-Antoinette, âgée de quinze ans. Marie-Antoinette était également la sœur de l'empereur Joseph II (1765-1790). Le mariage eut lieu le 16 mai 1770 dans la chapelle du château de Versailles. L’opéra, réalisé par Jacques-Ange Gabriel est inauguré à cette occasion.
