Louis Lacoste (composer)

Louis Lacoste, also given as De La Coste (c. 1675 – c. 1750) was a French composer of the Baroque era. He was a singer then chorus master and leader of the orchestra at the Paris Opera (from 1710 to 1714). He composed several works for the stage, the most successful of which was Philomele, first performed on 20 October 1705 by the Academie Royale de Musique at the Theatre du Palais-Royal in Paris, and revived in 1709, 1723, and 1734. Bradamante was a "bruising failure".
