Issé (opera)

Issé is an operatic pastorale héroïque by the French composer André Cardinal Destouches. Initially it was in three acts. The definitive revised version consists of a prologue and five acts. The libretto was by Antoine Houdar de La Motte. Although Destouches was only 25 at the time of its premiere, it is considered his best score.
