Les Indes Galantes takes the form of an opera-ballet with a prologue and four acts. The four acts have distinct and separate plots, but are unified by the theme of love in exotic places (The Ottoman Empire, Peru, Persia, and North America). Written by Jean-Phillipe Rameau, it premiered in Paris in 1735 with the prologue and first two acts only.
