The NCO under the direction of Terje Tønnensen presents Lully's incidental music to Molière's comédie-ballet Le bourgeois gentilhomme (The Middle-Class Aristocrat). The play satirizes a bourgeois personality, monsieur Jourdain's attempts at social climbing while poking fun at the snobbish aristocracy. We are joined by actor and narrator Teodor Janson who takes us through the plot of the play while the Orchestra performs excerpts from Lully's musical creation.
This concert was recorded live at the University Aula in Oslo, April 2016.
