Pluto has also been featured as a role in ballet. In Lully's "Ballet of Seven Planets'" interlude from Cavalli's opera "Ercole amante" ("Hercules in Love"), Louis XIV himself danced as Pluto and other characters; it was a spectacular flop. Pluto appeared in Noverre's lost "La descente d'Orphée aux Enfers" (1760s). Gaétan Vestris danced the role of the god in Florian Deller's "Orefeo ed Euridice" (1763). The "Persephone" choreographed by Robert Joffrey (1952) was based on André Gide's line "king of winters, the infernal Pluto."
