Amadis (Lully)

[2] Amadis was the first tragédie en musique to be based on chivalric rather than mythological themes; Lully's last three completed operas followed in this course.

Between 1687 and 1729 it was produced in Amsterdam, The Hague, Marseille, Rouen, Brussels, Lunéville, Lyon, and Dijon.

At the beginning of the same act Arcabonne sings "Amour, que veux-tu de moy?

", as once did 'every cook in France', according to Le Cerf de la Viéville (Comparaison, 1704–6)[2] The opera went by the title Amadis until 1699 when another opera, Amadis de Grèce, by André Cardinal Destouches appeared.

This was also the title of an adaptation of the Quinault libretto with music by Johann Christian Bach, which premiered in Paris in 1779.
