Adèle de Ponthieu is an opera by the French composers Jean-Benjamin de La Borde and Pierre Montan Berton, first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique, Paris (the Paris Opera) on 1 December 1772.
It takes the form of a tragédie lyrique in three acts.
The libretto was written by Jean-Paul-André Razins de Saint-Marc, after a tragedy by Pierre-Antoine de La Place, staged at the Comédie-Française in 1757.
[1] The opera had little success in its first run and was only revived in 1775 in five acts, for 38 performances, before being withdrawn for good.
[2] The three-act libretto, however, was later set by Niccolò Piccinni in 1781.
