The "Marche pour les Matelots", from act 3, became popular as a dance tune and is the basis of the Christmas carol " Masters in This Hall". The score is particularly famous for the storm scene ( tempête) in act 4. The opera was first performed on 18 February 1706 by the Académie royale de musique at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris. The libretto, by Antoine Houdar de la Motte, is based on the Greek myth of Ceyx and Alcyone as recounted by Ovid in his Metamorphoses. It takes the form of a tragédie en musique in a prologue and five acts. It was also the theme of the samba-enredo of the Unidos da Ponte samba school in 1994.Alcyone is an opera by the French composer Marin Marais.
