Baroque music from the French court coming to your screen 270 years on. An opportunity to enjoy the premiere of a new production of Rameau’s Pigmalion, direc...

Pigmalion is a talented sculptor, carving his ideal woman, much to the dismay of his fiancée, Céphise. As the statue takes shape, he appeals to the goddess Venus to bring his artwork to life, and everyone’s fortunes are changed when la statue transforms, awakes – and dances. 

Rameau’s opera, written over 270 years ago, feels very much of our times, exploring themes of love, narcissism, gender, creative genius, power and image culture.
