I thought that I was in the right way, for I had written eight operas, which the Italians lauded to the skies. But the 'Caduta de Giganti' was a failure, and 'Artamene' likewise. I could not bear to be so misconceived. I was determined to show the English that, in spite of them, I was an artiste. I longed to bring them to my feet, as Jupiter did the Titans.
The opening opera, written on purpose to introduce Gluck to English audiences, was entitled "La Caduta del Giganti," "Fall of the Giants" and did not seem to please the public. But the young composer was undaunted. His next opera, "Artamene," pleased them no better.
