Le Mage ("the Magus") is an opera in five acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Jean Richepin.

Amrou, Persian high priest to the Daevas (the supposed gods of pre-Zoroastrian Persia), enters with his daughter, Varedha, priestess of Djahi, goddess of love.

Scene 1: In a subterranean chamber in the Djahi temple Amrou enters looking for Varedha, and promises vengeance on Zarastra for spurning his daughter.

Scene 2: In the square of Balzhdi Zarastra, hailed by the courtiers and priests, presents before the Persian king the treasures and captives he has taken.

On a holy mountain – sacred to the god of fire Zarastra is worshiped now as a magus, and prays.
