Djamileh is an opéra comique in one act by Georges Bizet to a libretto by Louis Gallet, based on an Oriental tale, Namouna, by Alfred de Musset.
It received its first performance on the 22 May, 1872 at the Opéra-Comique, Paris. It had ten performances in 1872, but was not revived in Paris until 1938.
The opera has been neglected for most of its existence, despite the admiration it received from both Gustav Mahler, who conducted nineteen performances of it at the Vienna State Opera between 1898 and 1903 and Richard Strauss who viewed it as a source of inspiration for Ariadne auf Naxos.
