Platée: Introduction with director Louisa Muller

"Platée has an exuberance in the music that is so exciting and so compelling"
Ahead of her production of Rameau's Platée this summer, director Louisa Muller gives us some insight into this lesser-known work, with some teasers of her interpretation, her key sources of inspiration, and a whistle-stop tour of the plot!

Platee is so interesting because she is a comic character that we come to kind of love. She believes in herself, even though this giant trick is being played on her. The end, where her ego is crushed, is sort of tragic. One hopes she can recover, move on in her own fantasy; but the cruelty is very sharp.
