Nélée et Myrthis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nélée et Myrthis is an opera by Jean-Philippe Rameau in the form of a one-act acte de ballet. Nothing is known about the date of its composition, performance during Rameau's lifetime or the name of its librettist. It may have been intended to form part of a larger opéra-ballet to be called Les beaux jours de l'Amour. The first known performance took place in modern times at the Victoria State Opera, Melbourne, Australia on 22 November 1974.
