In this dazzling comedy by Rameau, the ugly, frog-like nymph Platée believes she is Jupiter’s chosen one. The latter, in a succession of disguises, mocks her in a game of seduction that is as cruel as it is entertaining, while the gods, complicit in the farce, feast on her illusions.
Rameau’s music is both rich and virtuosic, transporting us into a whirlwind of laughter and beauty, while offering a fine reflection on pride and vanity. With its bewitching arias and numerous burlesque scenes, Platée is a theatrical delight, a veritable jewel of the Baroque repertoire, to which Valentin Tournet and his Chapelle Harmonique return all its spice.
