"Lucile" is an opéra comique, described as a "comédie mêlée d'ariettes", in one act by the Belgian composer André Grétry, The French text was by Jean François Marmontel, and the characters in the opera, though not the actual story, were derived from Marmontel's L'école des pères. The melody from "Où peut-on être mieux qu'au sein de sa famille?" was later reused in Vieuxtemp's Violin Concerto No. 5, Op.37.
