Zélindor, roi des Sylphes

Zélindor, roi des Sylphes (Zélindor, king of the Sylphs) is an opera-ballet, a divertissement in one act, created at Versailles in 1745 by François Rebel to a libretto by François-Augustin Paradis de Moncrif. In March 1753 the ballet was revived and was the last significant success of Madame de Pompadour's troupe, the Théâtre des Petits Cabinets.
