Favart, at Voltaire’s request, wrote the libretto for the opéra-comique La Fée Urgèle. The plot features Sire Robert, who is judged by the Tribunal of Love for having stolen a kiss from the fairy Urgèle. Condemned to discover “what pleases women,” he receives the answer from an old woman in exchange for a promise of marriage; she then reveals herself to be the fairy Urgèle.
