First Edition. Sonneck Dramatic Music, p. 156. Hirsch II, 886. Devriès and Lesure Vol. I, Part I, pp. 65. OCLC 55970580. La Vestale was first performed in Paris at the Opéra on 15 December 1807. Spontini "dominated serious grand opera of the early 19th century in Paris and later in Berlin. ... After writing his last work in the Italian opera buffa style in 1805 (Julie, ou Le pot de fleurs), Spontini devoted himself to work on La vestale, his first tragédie lyrique, which was completed in draft in 1805, the year in which he was first described as compositeur particulier de la chambre to the Empress Josephine. Josephine's patronage, to which Spontini responded with such occasional works as the cantata L'eccelsa gara and the vaudeville Tout le monde a tort (both 1806), proved a decisive influence on his career; only Josephine's persistent intervention brought about the long-delayed first performance of La vestale on 15 December 1807 (see fig.2). The work's triumphant success meant that Spontini was now seen as one of the leading composers in Paris, and he was commissioned to provide propaganda for Napoleon's Spanish campaign in the form of an opera about Hernán Cortés and his conquest of Mexico. Napoleon himself, with the kings of Saxony and Westphalia, attended the première of Fernand Cortez on 28 November 1809." Anselm Gerhard in Grove Music Online.
