Ernelinde, princesse de Norvège

Revised as Sandomir, prince de Dannemarck, it was given in the same theatre on 24 January 1769.

The libretto was further revised in five acts by Michel-Jean Sedaine, this time as Ernelinde with fully orchestrated recitatives by Philidor, and given at the Théâtre Gabriel at the Palace of Versailles on 11 December 1773 and in Brussels in 1774.

Philidor and Sedaine revised the five-act version for another set of performances given by the Paris Opera at the second Salle du Palais-Royal beginning on 8 July 1777.

The 1777 performances, with their exotic Viking setting, excited enough interest to provoke parodies.
