Molière & Lully: Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme at Opéra Comique
About the Event
Experience opera like never before in this astonishing performance of Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme by Molière and Lully at Paris's remarkable Opéra Comique.
Mr. Jourdain’s studying arts and good manners, believing it’s never too late to learn and climb the social ladder. But he is doomed to be deceived as he is made to believe he’s marrying his daughter to the Grand Duke’s heir.
Jérôme Deschamps, who conceived the whole performance, brings humanity and poetry to Jourdain’s gentle dreamer. Marc Minkowski and the Musiciens du Louvre make this festive score gleam.
