La cour de Célimène (The Court of Célimène), also known as Les douze (The dozen) is an opéra comique in two acts by French composer Ambroise Thomas. The original French libretto was by Joseph-Bernard Rosier (1804–1880). The principal character, the Countess, is not named, but her nickname in the opera, Célimène, refers to a character in Molière's drama Le Misanthrope who has a large number of suitors.
