He was a child prodigy and sang as a boy soprano in the royal chapel. His opera "Endymion" was staged at Versailles in March, 1682. In 1683, King Louis XIV gave Desmarets a 900-livre pension. Desmarets' wife died in 1696. Later, Desmarets took a lover, Marie-Marguerite, and was arrested for helping her flee a convent. He was sentenced to death. He escaped on August 5, 1699, and fled the country with Marie-Marguerite for the Low Countries. Desmarets was hired by the King of Spain, Philip V, in 1701. Desmarets was hired by Leopold I, Duke of Lorraine, in 1707. Desmarets was pardoned by the Duke of Burgundy in 1720. Works:
