Who is Mlle Duval?

Mlle. Duval was a French composer who composed her first opera at age eighteen. Her first name is unknown. A letter to the Journal des nouvelles de Paris in 1736 reported she was known by the name La Légende because she was an illegitimate child, possibly indicating that Duval was a stage name, and that she was a singer and actress. A review in the Mercure de France reported that she accompanied the full performance of her opera on harpsichord.
