"Monsieur De Pourceaugnac" by Molière is a three-act comédie-ballet first performed in 1669 before King Louis XIV. When the provincial Monsieur de Pourceaugnac arrives to marry Julie, he doesn't know she's already in love with another man. Julie and her beloved Éraste enlist a cunning schemer to sabotage the unwanted marriage through an escalating series of clever deceptions. This comedy-ballet combines spoken dialogue with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully and became one of
Molière's greatest successes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
