Original

The first version of Dardanus , which was performed at the end of 1739, was composed apparently in only six months and marks a particularly productive phase in Rameau ’s career. In a period of only six years five of his major works were performed at the Académie Royale de Musique in Paris. The theme is taken from Greek mythology. The opera describes the war between Teucer. the future founder of Troy. , his Phrygian people and the army of Dardanus. A milestone of French Baroque opera in a performance practice orientated vocal score.
