¡Jean-Philippe Rameau: "Platee"
¡Opera
Description
[Machine Translation] Prologue and 3 acts Adrien-Joseph Valois d'Urville Script by Jacques Othreau. The story begins in Greek mythological times with the call of Thespis, founder of the Cometi. To fend off the attacks of his jealous wife, Junon, Jupiter decides to use the not-so-beautiful Plateaus (frog nymphs) to make a play. He asks the veiled Plathe to marry him, and just as he is about to make his vows, Junon intervenes.... However, Junon sees Plathey's face and laughs hysterically. Platee, her pride hurt, runs away, and Junon decides to believe in Jupiter once more. This opera was first performed on March 31, 1745 in the Palace of Versailles for the wedding feast of the Dauphin, son of Louis XV, and Maria Teresa, Princess of Spain, and had to wait until four years later, in 1749, to be presented to the public.
