Platée
Libretto by Adrien-Joseph Le Valois d'Orville
New production
DIn this musical comedy which he himself liked to call « ballet bouffon », Rameau injects a bubble of fun into musical theatre. After his successes in the genre noble (Hippolytus and Aricia, Castor and Pollux for example), here he sets to music a satire with caustic and disquieting humour, mixing the most diverse genres on the musical stage with a hitherto unknown virtuosity. Following on from the tradition of Aristophane's The Frogs, the Dialogues of Lucien, as well as other high works of the Renaissance (such as Erasmus' In Praise of Madness) and also from the tradition of the ineffable ‘soties' (satirical farces) of the Middle-Ages, embedded in music of unique inventiveness and dazzling richness, Platée is certainly one of the most incredible strokes of genius of French opera .
