Catalogue Note
Rare. Nous n'avons pas retrouvé trace de vente aux enchères pour cet exemplaire de Zoroastre. Zoroastre est la quatrième des tragédies en musique de Rameau à être mise en scène. La première représentation eut lieu le 5 décembre 1749 à l'Académie Royale de Musique à Paris. Il s'agit du premier opéra français majeur sans prologue allégorique. Les prix de cet exemplaire sont indiqués 13 et 15 livres ; les prix indiqués sur l'exemplaire de Hoboken, présenté comme la première édition, sont de 16 et 18 livres.
