Zoroastre, one of Rameau's major operas, never appeared in the edition of his "Complete Works" which date from early in the twentieth century, and consequently it was long in the shadows and passed over in favor of some of the published operas. Rameau wrote two very different versions of the opera. The first, presented at the Paris Opéra beginning on December 5, 1749, was not a success. Reviews were generally poor, and the run of the production was short. Rameau then withdrew it and almost completely rewrote Acts II, III, and V and changed much of the action in the story. This second version, was produced in 1756 to great acclaim. There was a final revival of the opera in 1770, six years after Rameau's death, for which some new music was written and some orchestration altered, but the 1756 version is the one that represents his final thoughts.
