Les Plaisirs du Louvre at The Chan Centre

Centuries before its modern-day existence as home to the Mona Lisa, the Louvre was the glittering seat of the French royaltys power. Echoing through its halls were the sound of elegant ballets commissioned by the bombastic Sun King; infectious air de cour that leaped from court to salon to streets; and dramatic musical settings of epic classical tales. Directed by Sbastien Dauc, the singers and instrumentalists of Lyons Ensemble Correspondances will lead audiences through the music of night, love, mystery, and mythology that once rang out among the Louvre galleries.
