Catalogue Note
Représenté pour la première fois le 11 janvier 1675 en présence du roi, cet opéra connut une longévité sans précédent, puisqu'il se maintint au répertoire de l'Académie Royale de Musique durant plus d'un siècle. Lully et Quinault, le librettiste, gardèrent le schéma instauré dans Cadmus et Hermione (prologue et cinq actes), mais le ton évolua : ils abandonnèrent l'habitude italienne de mélanger les genres et supprimèrent les passages comiques.
