Description:Jean-Jacques Rousseau hailed "Platée" as "the best musical play ever to be heard in our theatres." In Robert Carsen's production, the mythological events take place in the world of Parisian haute couture and Jupiter is portrayed as the fashion god Karl Lagerfeld (1933-2019) - who has now really been transferred up to Olympus. This ingeniously apt transposition of this satirical opera into the modern day has long been a hit! The renowned specialist in baroque music, William Christie, conducts his Les Arts Florissants, the Arnold Schoenberg Chor and a fantastic cast. "A candy-colored baroque dream" Salzburger Nachrichten // "A must-see - and not only for fashion freaks!" (Bühne)
This Blu-ray edition of "Platée" from Unitel Edition presents an acclaimed production of Jean-Philippe Rameau's comic opera in high-definition picture and superb multichannel sound. Rameau's satirical masterpiece, which turns classical mythology on its head with biting humor and dazzling music, is brought to life in a visually imaginative staging and vivid orchestral colors. The production focuses on the grotesque yet touching character of Platée, a naïve marsh nymph who becomes the victim of a cruel divine prank, exposing the vanity and hypocrisy of the Olympian gods. With crisp direction for the screen, dynamic camera work and refined audio engineering, this release allows viewers to appreciate both the musical sophistication and the theatrical wit of Rameau's score.

Unitel Edition is renowned in the classical world for high-quality film and video productions of opera, concert and ballet. For decades, the label and its associated production company have collaborated with leading festivals, orchestras and opera houses across Europe, documenting landmark performances and preserving them in reference-quality recordings. Releases under the Unitel Edition imprint are known for their meticulous production values, careful restoration of archival material and close partnerships with distinguished artists and ensembles.

The cast of this "Platée" features specialists in the French Baroque repertoire, distinguished by refined vocal technique, clear diction and agile ornamentation. The title role is interpreted by a charismatic singer-actor whose comic timing and physical expressiveness bring out both the ridiculous and the deeply human aspects of Platée. Opposite the protagonist, an ensemble of experienced Baroque stylists embodies Jupiter, Juno and the other gods with vocal brilliance and stylistic authority. The conductor is a leading figure in historically informed performance, acclaimed for incisive interpretations of 18th-century opera and concert works and for collaborations with major period-instrument orchestras. The stage director, known for inventive and often visually striking opera productions, shapes the action with a keen sense of irony and character, transforming Rameau's allegorical comedy into a lively, contemporary theatrical experience while remaining faithful to the musical text.

The Blu-ray benefits from Unitel Edition's expertise in filming music for the screen: thoughtfully composed close-ups, balanced ensemble shots and a careful capture of the stage space preserve the production's theatrical flair while making it accessible for home viewing. The sound mix emphasizes clarity of voices and transparency of orchestral texture, revealing the rhythmic vitality of the dance movements and the subtle colors of the Baroque instrumentation. Bonus features, where included, may offer insights through interviews or rehearsal footage, shedding light on the creative process behind the staging and interpretation. This release is aimed at opera lovers, Baroque enthusiasts and collectors of high-quality filmed performances who wish to experience Rameau's "Platée" in an authoritative and audiovisually sophisticated version.
