Until 1914, this was the Old Munich café in rue Grétry, central Brussels, one of many German theme pubs in the entertainment district. By 1919 it was renamed the Taverne Baudouin.

En effet, j’avais commis une version du thème d’André-Modeste Grétry, un peu house, il y a quoi… 25 ans ? pour le générique de La Semaine Infernale.
Ce même thème, joué au xylophone servant de générique de fin d’antenne radio dans les 60s et 70s mais aussi pendant les…GRÈVES.

Carmen too often sounds like Azucena on steroids, or even Santuzza. The real antecedents of this aria are elsewhere, in Grétry for instance-the eighteenth-century original, not the late Romantic remix.

Lucile Grétry composed two operas by the time she was 15. Her most successful work, ‘Le Mariage d’Antonio’, premiered in 1786 and was a sequel to one of her father’s operas. Her opera was performed around 40 times before she succumbed to tuberculosis in 1790. She was 17.
