Platée

A comic opera consisting of a prologue and two acts, composed by Jean-Philippe Rameau and libretto by Adrien-Joseph Le Valois d' Orville, inspired by the myth of the Greek writer Pausanias. Platée tells the story of a very unattractive water nymph who is wrongly convinced that the god Jupiter is madly in love with her, only to discover that she has been used by the Gods to appease the jealousy of Jupiter’s true love, Juno. Rameau composed Platée to celebrate the marriage of Louis, Dauphin of France, the eldest son of Louis XV.
