During this early period the Théâtre-Italien first presented opera buffa by Domenico Cimarosa and Giovanni Paisiello, later adding those by Ferdinando Paër and Simone Mayr. The theatre commissioned Valentino Fioravanti’s "I virtuosi ambulanti", first presented on 26 September 1807. Several of Mozart's operas were first presented in Italian in Paris by the company, including "Figaro" (23 December 1807), "Così" (28 January 1809), and "Don Giovanni" (2 September 1811), the last under Gaspare Spontini, who served as director from 1810 to 1812. Spontini also added "opera serie" by Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli and others.
