Work: Objét le plus beau

Perth's HIP Company join forces with Sydney's The Marais Project for a charming evening of French Baroque music. 

‘Fêtes Galantes’ is one of those glorious French phrases that sounds so wonderful but is nigh on impossible to translate. Rather than having any concrete meaning, it evokes Watteau-esque imagery of woodland gatherings, where eighteenth-century aristocrats amuse themselves by flirting, dancing and making music.
