The “songe” (dream) is an element found in several musical dramatic works in the late 17th century. Yet, its function and staging are subject to different factors. The study corpus for this research is constituted of Renaud's dreams in the Armide (Jean-Baptiste Lully, 1686), those of Atys (in the Lullian work of the same name, 1689) and those of Ulysses in Circe (Henri Desmarets, 1694).

There are few operas or tragedies dealing with the myth of Orpheus in France during the classical era. The two works studied in this article (Orphée by Louis Lully and Michel Du Boullay, Orphée by François-Joseph de Lagrange-Chancel) belong to the Racinian tragedy's tradition and use the aesthetic canons of the lyric tragedy as created by Lully. The aim here is to show how these works put the myth into a new perspective by integrating a reflection on the notion of tragic as well as on Evil. Moreover, we will question their position in relation to tradition, especially Italian.
