Prométhée

This version (which was later revised by Fauré) made its debut at the Paris Opéra on 17 May 1917 but never became popular.

Warrack and West call it a grand cantata, arguing that since "only some of the characters participate in the stage action it is scarcely an opera, though Fauré's conception of the work is at times more operatic than merely choral ... [and] the clearest example to date of Wagner's influence on his music.

[4] Illogically, but necessarily because of her balancing role, she revives later in the act and continues to take part in the action.

The opera has been presented very rarely, but in July 2011 there was a Brazilian production by the Núcleo Universitário de Ópera [pt] in São Paulo.

This Brazilian production included recitatives instead of spoken lines and a new orchestration by their conductor and director, Paulo Maron.
