Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme

Molière's five-act comédie-ballet, first performed in 1670 for Louis XIV, blends theatre, music, and dance. The plot follows Monsieur Jourdain, a wealthy bourgeois who desperately tries to become an aristocrat, taking lessons in fencing, dancing, and philosophy—only to make a fool of himself. The production includes the famous "Turkish ceremony" and music by Jean-Baptiste Lully.

The play satirizes both the pretentious middle class and the snobbish aristocracy, with Jourdain's delight at discovering he has been speaking prose all his life. Audiences can expect a lively performance that captures Molière's wit through disguises and mistaken identities.
