TRAILER | LES INDES GALANTES Rameau – Bayerische Staatsoper

While the young people of Europe forsake Love to follow Bellone at war, Cupid sets out to shoot his arrows into the rest of the world.

A masterpiece of the Enlightenment, Les Indes galantes is sparkling entertainment. Yet Rameau’s first opera‑ballet also bears witness to the Europeans’ ambiguous view of ‘savage’ cultures. The Belgian choreographer-director Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui adapts Les Indes Galantes to a contemporary setting, where globalisation has transformed the notions of exoticism.

Lisette's Baroque chops! 👏👏👏👏. Plus the segue reminds me of the time I was in Lully's Galatée on roller skates 😂

Vedo che come si fa spesso si utilizza la religione cattolica. Davvero poche idee e poco rispetto.
