Acis and Galatea
Ovid's story of the shepherd Acis and his love for the nymph Galatea (from Metamorphoses) has formed the basis of several ballet librettos, including Hilverding (Vienna, 1753), Noverre (mus. Aspelmayr, Vienna, 1722), O. Viganò (Venice, 1782), and Fokine (mus. G. Kadletz, St Petersburg, 1905).
