Ercole amante

Opera by Pietro Cavalli (libretto by F Buti), first produced at the Tuileries in Paris, France, on 7 February 1662. It was the only opera specially written for Paris by Cavalli. The ballet music was by Jean-Baptiste Lully. The title alludes to the marriage of Louis XIV. Hercules wants Iole, but she hates him for having killed her father, who consented to her marriage with Hercules' son, Hyllus. Hercules imprisons his son and is about to marry Iole when she saves herself by giving him a deadly shirt to wear.
