Platée

At the Prague National Theatre, an extraordinary production of Rameau's comic opera "Platée" unfolds. Director Marcel Lang-Langer transforms 18th-century Baroque music into contemporary satire on human vanity. A chorus of nymphs and satyrs dressed as 21st-century businessmen sings about the swamp nymph Platée's love for Jupiter. The 2025 interpretation boldly bridges classical music with theatrical absurdity. Baroque orchestra sounds accompany video projections of urban landscapes, creating a unique fusion of eras. This musical drama balances operatic tradition with experimental theatre, inviting viewers to reconsider timeless themes through a modern lens.
