It consisted then [of] a prologue in honour of the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, 'Le Retour d'Astree,' and two acts, 'la lyre enchantee' and 'Adonis." Nine years later, [on May 31st] 1757, it was given at the Opera, without the prologue and with the addition of the third act, 'Anacreon.' " Girdlestone p. 451.Intended for a projected opéra-ballet entitled Les beaux jours de l’Amour, Anacreon is one of two independent works by Rameau with the same title; the other, to a libretto by Pierre-Joseph Bemard, eventually became part of Les surprises de l’Amour. The aging poet Anacreon (bass) prepares a betrothal celebration for his two protégés Chloë (soprano) and Bathylle (haute-contre) but teasingly pretends that it is for his own betrothal to Chloë."
