The Viceroy of a remote 18th century Peruvian town has purchased a magnificent golden coach from Europe. The Viceroy hints of his intention to give the coach to his mistress, the Marquise, but has decided to pay for it with public funds, since he plans to use it to overawe the populace and flatter the local nobility, who enthusiastically look forward to taking turns parading in it. By coincidence, the coach arrives on the same ship that carries an Italian commedia dell'arte troupe composed of men, women and children who perform as singers, actors, acrobats and comics. The troupe is led by Don Antonio, who also portrays the stock character of Pantalone on stage, and features Camilla, who plays the stock role of Columbina.

Les femmes de Thèbes sont désespérées : Quand leurs maris vont-ils rentrer de la guerre contre la Béotie ? Bien qu'Alcmène semble plus optimiste que les autres habitants, elle est aussi plus chagrinée : elle prie Jupiter de mettre fin rapidement à la guerre. Mais le dieu dort profondément et n'entend pas d'abord l'appel à l'aide, il est réveillé par le bruit des patins de Mercure. Alors que Mercure rejette les gens, Jupiter prend soin d'Alcmène. Il aimerait apparaître dans sa divinité, estimant qu'il tient son épouse Junon sous sa coupe. Il prétend devoir aller à Thèbes pour soigner en cure un mal de dos alors qu'elle lui fait remarquer que les meilleurs médecins se trouvent à Sparte. Par ailleurs, il demande à Mercure de l'accompagner, ce qui le surprend.
