Platée, Rameau’s masterpiece, will be performed at the Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse from 19 to 24 March 2022 and then at the Opéra Royal in Versailles from 18 to 22 May. Conducted by fellow conductor Hervé Niquet (at the head of the Concert Spirituel), the eagerly awaited production by Corinne and Gilles Benizio (Shirley and Dino are always very imaginative) features a 100% French-speaking cast with Mathias Vidal as the libidinous frog Platée and Marie Perbost as the Folly. The best of the new generation is also on the bill, including Marie-Laure Garnier, Jean-Christophe Lanièce and Pierre Derhet.
