Catalogue Note
Superbe exemplaire de cette rare édition dans une belle reliure en maroquin rouge de l'époque. Nous n'avons retrouvé aucune trace de cette édition en vente publique ces dernières cinquante années.
Cadmus et Hermione est la première tragédie en musique qui révéla Lully au public. Le librettiste de cette oeuvre fut Philippe Quinault. La première représentation eut lieu en avril 1673 et son succès fut tel que Louis XIV lui même vint y assister (TNG).
