When the first notes of the new comédie-ballet, Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, the fruit of Lully's and Molière's genius, sounded on 14 October 1670, no one could have imagined it would reach such a posterity - four centuries later, the same lightness, vigour and ingenuity still make us laugh!

Duration: 2h45The Bourgeois Gentilhomme is the sparkling result of the alliance of the geniuses of Molière and Lully. Of all his masters, Monsieur Jourdain will only obtain a Mamamouchi ceremony! Molière is served here by the direction of Denis Podalydès, and Lully by Christophe Coin and his Ensemble Baroque de Limoges, for a work whose comic force has not aged a bit.

One evening in January 1713, the night is approaching... Louis XIV finally frees himself from the mundanities and retires in the company of his close friends and his faithful musicians.
