Les Indes Galantes, by Jean-Philippe Rameau

Sept 26 – Oct 15, 2019
Place de la Bastille, 75012 Paris, France

This is Rameau. Not opera, but opéra-ballet, a genre that to contemporary tastes may be just too exquisite by half. Instead of plot, expect moving tableaux set in Turkey, Peru, Persia, and wherever it is that “Savages” come from. The pleasures, for those with the taste, lie in layer upon layer of nuance. —M.G.
