From the Amherst Early Music website:
"With Cadmus et Hermione, in 1673, Lully and poet Philippe Quinault invented a new type of entertainment, the tragédie lyrique. With its plot of amorous intrigue, Cadmus et Hermione involves thwarted high-born lovers, mythological beasts, numerous gods and goddesses attempting to control their liaison, and comic servants with amorous designs of their own. There are several excellent roles for baritones (Lully had yet to create leading roles for haute-contre) and sopranos (possible for higher mezzos), as well as roles for countertenors and tenors. The opera project is fully costumed and staged.  It includes instruction by Drew Minter in period acting and performance techniques, and singers also take part in masterclasses with Aaron Sheehan and Jason McStoots."
