“Amphitryon†is an opera in three acts by AndrÃ(c)-Ernest-Modeste GrÃ(c)try, with a libretto by Michel Jean Sedaine. This edition presents the full vocal score. A cornerstone of the French operatic repertoire, “Amphitryon†exemplifies the elegance and wit of 18th-century musical theater. The opera, based on classical mythology, tells the story of Amphitryon, his wife Alcmene, and the god Jupiter's amorous interference. GrÃ(c)tryâ€(TM)s score is celebrated for its melodic invention and dramatic expressiveness, while Sedaineâ€(TM)s libretto offers a sophisticated blend of comedy and pathos.
