''Les fêtes de Polymnie'' (''The Festivals of Polyhymnia'') is an ''opéra-ballet'' in three ''entrées'' and a prologue by Jean-Philippe Rameau. The work was first performed on 12 October 1745 at the Opéra, Paris, and is set to a libretto by Louis de Cahusac. The piece was written to celebrate the French victory at the Battle of Fontenoy in the War of the Austrian Succession.〔Holden, p. 839〕 It was revived at the same venue on 21 August 1753.〔Amadeus Almanac〕 Neither Cuthbert Girdlestone〔Girdlestone p.445〕 nor Graham Sadler (in the ''New Penguin Guide''〔Holden, p. 840〕) consider this among Rameau's finest works, though both remark on the originality of its overture, which breaks the traditional Lullian mould common to French overtures up to that time. ==Roles and role creators== *Mnémosine (prologue) soprano Bourbonnais *Victoire (prologue) soprano *Polymnie (prologue) soprano *Hébé/Argélie soprano Marie Fel *Stratonice soprano Marie-Jeanne Fesch *Oriade soprano *Alcine soprano *Alcide/Anthiocus haute-contre Pierre Jélyotte *Zimès tenor *Séleucus bass Claude-Louis-Dominique Chassé de Chinais *Destin bass Lefèbvre *Jupiter bass François Le Page 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Les fêtes de Polymnie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
