Pénélope

Pénélope is an opera in three acts by the French composer Gabriel Fauré. The French-language libretto, by René Fauchois, is based on Homer's Odyssey. Dedicated to Camille Saint-Saëns, the opera was first performed at the Salle Garnier, Monte Carlo, in March 1913. This lithograph poster was designed by Georges Rochegrosse for the 1913 Paris premiere of Pénélope at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.
