Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme is the sparkling result of the union of the geniuses of Molière and Lully, working together for the pleasure of Louis XIV. Here, Molière is served by Denis Podalydes’s staging, and Lully by Christophe Coin and the Ensemble Baroque de Limoges, with costumes by Christian Lacroix.

This work’s comic force has not aged a bit, and its ability to make text and music coexist remains marvellously intact.

This DVD is an invitation to a ‘total spectacle’!
