Jérôme Deschamps, who conceived the whole performance, brings humanity and poetry to Jourdain’s gentle dreamer. Marc Minkowski and the Musiciens du Louvre make this festive score gleam.
Mr. Jourdain’s studying arts and good manners, believing it’s never too late to learn and climb the social ladder. But he is doomed to be deceived as he is made to believe he’s marrying his daughter to the Grand Duke’s heir.
At the center of Molière and Lully’s last ‘Comédie-Ballet’, this bourgeois who dreams about becoming a nobleman put a grin on Louis XIV’s face. “This is what true comedy is about, healthy and helpful jokes”, thanked the monarch.
This work of art prefigures the art of opera, combining chant and dance with the dramatic plot with the greatest talent.

This show is a RELAX performance
It offers a caring and laid-back environment for people whose disability (autism, multiple disabilities, mental or psychic disability, Alzheimer…) may give rise to atypical and unpredictable behaviour during the show. The opera-house’ standard procedures are more flexible and everyone can experience emotions freely without fearing stares from others.
