Platée

Robert Carsen’s dazzling production of Rameau’s Platée at the Theater an der Wien, with the musicians of Les Arts Florissants under the supreme direction of William Christie, transfers the mythological action in the high fashion scene. Jupiter, in a ploy to rid his wife, Junon, of jealousy over his amorous exploits, courts the vain but unsightly swamp nymph Platée. Vanity, it seems, afflicts everyone on stage, but only Platée, touchingly embodied by Marcel Beekman, pays a price. Baritone Edwin Crossley-Mercer is an imposing Jupiter, and the soprano Jeanine de Bique brings her distinctive style to La Folie’s bravura music.
