description: According to Grove Music, "when Admetus, King of Pherae in
 Thessaly, is ill and about to die an oracle announces that he will be saved if
 someone else is willing to die in his stead. His wife Alcestis displays her
 conjugal devotion by offering herself; she dies and Admetus recovers. Under
 the influence of tragédie lyrique, Calzabigi enriched his libretto with
 choruses, ballets and opportunities for impressive scenery."
