Ballet Heroïque With A Prologue and Four Acts-The main body of the new edition of Les Indes galantes published in Opera Omnia Rameau (OOR IV.2 7) restores the version authorised by Rameau in 1736.

All other versions before and after 1736 are gathered together in 19 appendices.Sylvie Bouissou?s new edition differs markedly from previous modern editions and all existing recordings.
