Storyline
PlatĂ©e, a silly and conceited nymph, falls for a fake wedding to Jupiter, king of the gods. This new staging of Jean-Philippe Rameauâs Baroque masterpiece is colourful, eccentric, full of wit and free of taboos, yet also surprisingly deep. Louis XV had PlatĂ©e performed for his son's wedding festivities in 1745. The burlesque raised Rameauâs standing and played a part in his appointment as composer to the court. In 1749, the Paris opera added PlatĂ©e to its repertoire, notwithstanding the outrage sparked by the libretto.
