PLATÉE | Pinchgut Opera

A jewel of French Baroque opera, Platée is Rameau's comic masterpiece. Celebrated director Neil Armfield makes his Pinchgut debut in a deliciously twisted comedy featuring an all-star Australian cast. Cinematically filmed and recorded at City Recital Hall in Sydney by Australian Theatre Live, the release of this celebrated and critically acclaimed production was highly anticipated.
