We have now released the poster for our 2017 production of the “The Would-be Gentleman” (“Le Bourgeois gentilhomme”), created by Troupe member Elizabeth Bucci.
The artwork for the poster is taken from “The Lute player”, a drawing made by royal designer Henri Gissey of the costume for that role for the inaugural production of the “Ballet of the Night” (“Ballet Royal de la Nuit”). This was a court ballet first performed on February 23, 1653 and which featured the 14 year-old Louis XIV in the role of Apollo, the Sun King. The music for the ballet was created by royal composer Jean-Baptiste Lully, who also composed the music for “The Would-be Gentleman”. One other link with our 2017 play: Henri Gissey designed the costumes for the original performances of “The Would-be Gentleman” too!
