Third version later issue. Philémon et Baucis to a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré after Jean de La Fontaine's fable was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre Lyrique on February 18 1860. "At the suggestion of Léon Carvalho director of the Théâtre Lyrique Gounod expanded his original two-act frame into three by adding a middle act that depicts the orgiastic celebrations of the townspeople in Jupiter's temple. For the 1876 revival at the Opéra-Comique which established Philémon in the repertory of that house until World War II Gounod reduced the work to two acts." Steven Huebner in Grove Music Online.
