About This Item
Les Fêtes d'Hébé was Rameau's fourth work for the stage, second opera-ballet, and one of his most popular works, premiered at the Paris Opéra on 21 May 1739, performed eighty times just in its first year, and over two-hundred times between 1739 and 1765.
[Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) was a "French composer and theorist. He was one of the greatest figures in French musical history, a theorist of European stature and France's leading 18th-century composer. He made important contributions to the cantata, the motet and, more especially, keyboard music, and many of his dramatic compositions stand alongside those of Lully and Gluck as the pinnacles of pre-Revolutionary French opera."
