After his return to Paris in 1830, his Missa da Requiem was performed at the church Notre-Dame-des-Victoires. In 1831, the annual meeting of the "Académie royale des Beaux-Art" was opened with a performance of the overture to his lyrical tragedy Elmyra. Paris composed the opéra comique La veillée for the Paris Opera (Salle Ventadour).
