Philomèle is an opera by the French composer Louis Lacoste, first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opera) on 20 October 1705. It takes the form of a tragédie en musique in a prologue and five acts. The libretto, by Pierre-Charles Roy, is based on the story of Philomela as told in Ovid's Metamorphoses.
