Opera in three acts
Music by Johann Christian Bach

The last opera by the youngest of J.S. Bach's sons and his only completed stage work in French was first performed in 1799 and has never been heard before in this country. The libretto, based on the famous medieval romance, is a revised version of the one written by Philippe Quinault for Lully in 1684.
