Abstract
The 1859 revival of Gluck’s Orphée at the Théâtre-Lyrique is well known, the revival of Alceste at the Opéra in 1861 less so. Taken together with the 1867 production of the composer’s L’arbre enchanté and the 1868 one of Iphigénie en Tauride describes a history of decline with the success of the revivals in inverse proportion to the levels of participation of the 1859 Orphée, Pauline Viardot.
