Engraved frontispice [a classic scene] Woodcut printers mark at title.Omphale (1701) is one of Destouches's contributions to the Lullian genre of the five-act tragédie en musique. Half a century after the premiere, Friedrich Melchior Grimm targeted the opera in his pamphlet "Lettre sur Omphale" (1752), which continued the earlier debate between advocates of Lully and Rameau. This written attack also precipitated the famous guerre des bouffons, which was sparked by a performance of Pergolesi's La serva padrona (1733) in 1752. First published: Paris: Christophe Ballard, 1701 An early, curious Amsterdam edition. Bound with a curious collection of plays as [e.g.]Iphigenie En Tauride, Callirhoe, Marthesie .
