Nicholas Scott performs with Les Ambassadeurs at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées

On Monday, 2 December at 19:30, tenor Nicholas Scott will perform with Orchestre et Chœur Les Ambassadeurs and conductor Alexis Kossenko at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.

Nicholas will interpret Thepsis / Mercure in the French Baroque opera Rameau’s Platée. Each scene is an iconoclastic mixture of arias, choruses and dances that flesh out an intrigue full of secondary roles and adventures. Unspeakably ugly, the water nymph Platée is convinced that Jupiter is in love and wants to marry her. This premise is the start of a chain of misunderstandings that gives this comedy by Jean-Philippe Rameau its rhythm, irony and biting wit – even if one ends up feeling sorry for the poor water nymph, who, from scene to scene, goes from failure to humiliation.
