Timeframe: Oct 18, 1695

Les Saisons premiered in October 1695, and was reprised in February 1700, according to Parfaict, who gives the cast listing only for the 1700, when la Maupin played Cérès.

Letainturier-Fradin, in Répertoire Chronologique des Rôles tenus par la Maupin, says she played the role in the 1695 performance, but apparently in 1695 Cérès was a dancing role, making it unlikely that la Maupin filled it.

Leris gives the date of the premiere as October 18, 1695, but does not give the cast.

Gustave Chouquet gives that date and July 12, 1700 for the reprise.

Our own Clorinde tells us that she was in fact in the 1695.
