Asmodée, ou La Philosophie du Díable is a French opéra-comique[1] in five acts, by an anonymous author.
The original text
It is referred to in the advert as "het niewe stuk" ("the new piece"), but no text or reference to such a French play can be found. Bosman (1928, p. 129) suggests that this may possibly have been a translated version of Asmodeus der Krumme Teufel, a three act opera comique[2] by Joseph Felix von Kurz (1717-1784)[3], with music by Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)[4].
Other candidate texts may have been:
Les Effets De La Haine Et De La Constance, Ou Asmodée Diable Boîteux, a comedy, an "Opéra-Féerie" in prose and three acts. Inspired by the novel Le Sage, with a text by Verteuil L'Aîné and music by Guillmino. First performed by Les Comédiens De Toulouse and in Marsellies, in 1777. Published in 1779.
South African performances
1811: Performed in Cape Town on 15 July by the teacher François Agron with his young students (under 14 years of age).
