Opera by Darius Milhaud
 ("The Abandonment of Ariane" or, in German, "Die Verlassene Ariadne"), Op. 98, is an opera in one act by Darius Milhaud to a French libretto by Henri Hoppenot, based on Greek mythology. It is the second of three "Opéras-Minutes" (Mini-Operas) that Milhaud composed. It came between "L'Enlèvement d'Europe", Op. 94, and "La Délivrance de Thésée", Op. 99, with librettos also by Henri Hoppenot (1891–1977), a French diplomat. The three operas together last about twenty-seven minutes. 
Performance history.
The first performance of the trilogy - "L'Enlèvement d'Europe", "L'Abandon d'Ariane" and "La Délivrance de Thésée" - was at the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden, Germany, on 20 April 1928. These performances were given in a German translation by Rudolph Stephan Hoffmann.
"L'Abandon d'Ariane" has been recorded several times; however, it is rarely performed live.
