The opera, which was first performed at the Comédie-Italienne, Paris, 2 September 1751, is a parody by C.S. Favart of L. Fuzelier's libretto for Les sauvages, the 4th entrée of J.-P. Rameau's opéra-ballet, Les Indes galantes; music arranged by Favart? See Grove music online (WWW site, 20 July 2009).

This may be a revised version of the divertissement, created for the performance at Laxenburg; it does not match the divertissement in earlier versions of the libretto.
