Do the operas Don Carlos and Pomone have the same number of acts?
Pomone (opera) Pomone ("Pomona") is a pastoral opera in a prologue and five acts by Robert Cambert with a libretto by Pierre Perrin. It has been described as "effectively the first French opera." It was first performed in Paris at the Jeu de Paume de la Bouteille theatre belonging to Cambert and Perrin's Académie d'Opéra on 3 March 1671. The production had ballets choreographed by Des Brosses and sets and machinery designed by Alexandre de Rieux, marquis de Sourdéac. The novelty of the work drew large audiences and the opera enjoyed 146 performances over the eight months of its run. The score of "Pomone" has only partially survived.
Le roi s'amuse Le roi s'amuse (] ; literally, "The King Amuses Himself" or "The King Has Fun") is a French play in five acts written by Victor Hugo. First performed on 22 November 1832 but banned by the government after one evening, the play was used for Verdi's 1851 opera "Rigoletto".
