Various - Jean-Philippe Rameau: Plat�e

Jean-Jacques Rousseau hailed �Plat�e� as �the best musical play ever to be heard in our theatres.� In Robert Carsen�s production, the mythological events take place in the world of Parisian haute couture and Jupiter is portrayed as the fashion god Karl Lagerfeld (1933-2019) � who has now really been transferred up to Olympus. This ingeniously apt transposition of this satirical opera into the modern day has long been a hit! The renowned specialist in baroque music, William Christie, conducts his Les Arts Florissants, the Arnold Schoenberg Chor and a fantastic cast.
