Jean-Philippe Rameau: Platée - Czech National Theatre, Prague - Watch the full programme | ARTE Concert
www.arte.tv
Platée, a silly and conceited nymph, falls for a fake wedding to Jupiter, king of the gods. This new staging of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Baroque masterpiece is colourful, eccentric, full of wit and free of taboos, yet also surprisingly deep.

IMHO a wonderful hallucination take on Platée that manages to downplay the meanness and enhance the farce.
