Operas
The first, Le mariage d’Antonio (1786), was written when she was just fourteen years old. It was a sequel to her father's most famous work, Richard Coeur-de-lion (1786), and ran for 47 performances. Her father assisted her with the orchestral scoring. It was followed by Toinette et Louis in 1787, which was a failure. Marriage was an unhappy one. Her promising career was cut short by her death from tuberculosis at the age of seventeen.
• Le mariage d'Antonio (comédie mêlée d'ariettes, premiere 29 July 1786; libretto by Alexandre-Louis Robineau, under the pseudonym "Madame de Beaunoir") • Toinette et Louis (divertissement mêlée d'ariettes, premiere and only performance 22 March 1787; libretto by Patrat; both score and libretto now lost)
