Opera Today says ”this effervescent rendition of Rameau’s seldom seen opus never loses its sparkling tang.” This jewel of French baroque opera tells the story of Platée, a  self-absorbed water nymph who believes she is desired by all. She sets her sights on the powerful Jupiter, who happens to have a very jealous wife, and the gods hatch a plan to cure Juno of her envy…unfortunately, at Platée’s expense. This fantastical (and pink!) production is a satirical commentary on the repercussions of vanity and ego.
