Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Psyche" by Molière is a tragédie-ballet created in 1671. Born from a collaboration among Molière, Pierre Corneille, and Philippe Quinault, with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully, this spectacular work retells the ancient tale of Cupid and Psyche. When the beautiful Psyche is condemned to be sacrificed to a monster, she instead finds herself mysteriously transported to a magnificent palace and courted by a mysterious lover. But jealous sisters and vengeful gods conspire against her happiness, leading to a perilous journey through the underworld itself.
