''Les aventures du roi Pausole'' (''The adventures of King Pausole'') is an opérette in three acts with music by Arthur Honegger and a French libretto by Albert Willemetz, based on the 1901 novel by Pierre Louÿs.〔Spratt GK. Arthur Honegger. In: ''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera.'' Macmillan, London and New York, 1997.〕 It was Honegger’s third operatic work, but his first in lighter vein, composed between May and November 1930, and dedicated to Fernand Ochsé. Excluding dialogue, there is around 75 minutes of music, making it longer than many of his more serious works. While showing the influence of Mozart, Chabrier and Messager, it contains a wide range of orchestral colours with occasional glances at jazz of the 1930s.〔Halbreich H.
