In this opera's second act, one character sings "I'm feeling all lonely and shivery" to a baritone whose part consists only of buzzing in the "Fly Duet." The soprano is bored listening to one character's endless stories of his former role as the King of Boetia, and earlier the soprano argued death is not terrible in the aria, "La mort m'apparaît souriante" after being led to a cornfield where she was bitten by a snake before the shepherd Aristee's transformation. The character of Public Opinion coerces the protagonist into seeking his wife, who sneaks into a party disguised as a bacchante in this opera's final scene before Jupiter's attempts to lead a minuet fail as the party dances the "Galop Infernal," which provides the tune for the "Can-Can." For 10 points, name this opera satirizing Gluck in which the titular bard descends to the domain of Pluto to find his wife Eurydice, composed by Jacques Offenbach.
