In this dazzling comedy by Rameau, the ugly nymph Platée, who resembles a frog, believes she is the chosen one of Jupiter. The latter mocks her in a series of disguises in a game of seduction that is as cruel as it is entertaining, while the gods who take part in the farce enjoy Platée's illusions. Rameau's music is both opulent and virtuosic, sending us into a frenzy of pleasure and beauty, his opera simultaneously offering a reflection on pride and vanity. With its enchanting arias and numerous burlesque scenes, Platée is a theatrical feast, a true jewel of the baroque repertoire to which Valentin Tournet and his Chapelle Harmonique add the necessary spice!
