Padmâvatî is an opera-ballet in two acts by Albert Roussel, with a libretto by Louis Laloy. Composed in 1914-1918 and first performed in 1923, the work showcases Roussel’s distinctive musical style, blending elements of impressionism and exoticism to create a rich and dramatic soundscape. Set in 13th-century India, the opera tells the tragic story of Padmâvatî, a queen renowned for her beauty and virtue. Her kingdom faces imminent invasion, and she must make a difficult choice to protect her people. This score represents a key work in the repertoire of early 20th-century French opera, and its balletic elements add another layer of artistic richness. The collaboration between Roussel and Laloy resulted in a powerful and moving portrayal of love, sacrifice, and duty, making 'Padmâvatî' a memorable and enduring work.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
