La Maupin made her debut as Pallas in Cadmus et Hermoine in December, 1690. According to Parfaict's article on Cadmus, this was the 5th time the opera was staged. The 6th was in April 1691 with the same cast and the 7th on 21 Sep 1703 had Mlle Loignon in the role of Pallas. In his biographical article on Maupin herself, he lists her birth year as 1673 and her debut in Cadmus in 1695, a performance explicitly absent from the Cadmus list.
