Alcine (English: Alcina) is an opera by the French composer André Campra. It takes the form of a tragédie en musique in a prologue and five acts. The libretto, by Antoine Danchet, is based on cantos IV, VI and VII of Ariosto's epic poem Orlando furioso and tells of the love of the enchantress Alcine for the paladin Astolphe (Astolfo).
Performance history
Alcine was first performed on 15 January 1705[1] by the Académie royale de musique at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris. The opera was a failure at its first performance.
