# New Musical Discoveries from the Era of Madame de Pompadour (1745-1764)

The Library hosted a symposium in collaboration with Opera Lafayette presenting distinguished French and American scholars involved with the rediscovery, completion and premieres of two significant 18th-century opéra-ballets: Jean-Philippe Rameau's Io and Pierre de la Garde's "Léandre et Héro." The panelists will discuss issues regarding research and editing for performance editions of operas from this period, and examine the role of great national libraries in acquiring and preserving artifacts of cultural patrimony.
