Daphnis et Chloé (Offenbach)

[1] It premiered at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens (Salle Choiseul) on 27 March 1860 under the direction of the composer.

When they have left Pan reveals that he is in pursuit of the shy but proud Chloé, who next enters with a lamb.

They decide that what they need is pipes so that when they meet the other shepherds and shepherdesses they can join in the dances; Pan throws a flute in the lap of Daphnis, but it won't play for him.

The bacchantes return and prevent Daphnis from leaving; they convince him that the way to cure his lovesickness is to take a mistress.

Pan takes the gourd with the water-of-forgetfulness in it just as Chloé returns; he flatters her and tries to teach her what to do with a lover.
