Let's continue our visit of the exhibition at the public library with more extraordinary stage costumes for Jean-Philippe Rameau's works...
Continuons notre visite de l'expo Rameau à la bibliothèque principale avec encore d'extraordinaires costumes de scène pour les œuvres de Jean-Philippe Rameau...
Also exhibited is Princess Adélaïde's violin, made by Nicolò Gagliano. Princess Adélaïde was one of Louis XVth's daughters, you had seen her cabinet at the palace here.
Egalement exposé, le violon de Madame Adélaïde, fille de Louis XV, dont le facteur fut Nicolò Gagliano. Vous aviez vu le cabinet de Madame Adélaïde au château ici.
This little decor for Rameau's 'Surprises of Love' by Piero Bonifazio Algieri (d. 1764) is extraordinary, isn't it? Listen to the 'Surprises of Love" here!
Ce petit projet de décor de Piero Bonifazio Algieri (mort en 1764) pour les "Surprises de l'Amour" n'est-il pas extraordinaire ? Ecoutez les "Surprises de l'Amour" ici !

Those costumes are some real eye poppers!
I especially like that 2nd costume! The music on the link is wonderful, Ciel.
That second costume is a real showstopper!
A little too fancy for me.
The costumes leave me. . . well, . . . speechless. :-)
That costume in the 2nd shot - ah...very strange and wonderful and weird! Love the violin - what magnificent workmanship.
A three-stringed violin with no chin rest? That's a challenge.
I like the miniature representations of stage sets. I've hardly ever seen them outside of France.
Those costumes must have been heavy to wear all day. I love the detail involved in them, such skill.
Bear in mind these are STAGE costumes, for opera singers or dancers!
The costumes are lavishly extravagant, must have been a real delight for the performers to wear!
Love the costumes! They are fabulous.
I understand why you were so impressed with this exhibition. Everything is so unusual and interesting!
Le projet de decor est sublime!
Les costumes extraordinaires! Quel travail dans les coulisses. Et sur scene un defi d'evoluer et de chanter dans ces costumes.
Par contre l'effet doit etre unique. L'opera j'ecoute a la limite mais aller en voir un est au dessus de mes forces quoique je devrais faire un nouvel essai, avec l'age on change parait-il!
Wow, I thought yesterday's costumes were amazing. These two are fantastic.
I hesitate to go here, but in the States (where I am now), that 2nd photo would be called a gown for a Hooter's ball. Putting that silliness aside, you captured well these wonderful costumes.
Impressionnant et "importable" !
The costumes are extraordinary Ciel and merci beaucoup for the link.
I'm thinking I'd be a tad uncomfortable wearing such costumes but they are interesting to look at.
What a wonderful show. Another great reason to visit your library.
These are all terrific and colorful, Ciel. Love 'em.
Yup. I like German wood things for Christmas. Pyramids (yup, I have candles and do light it), nutcracker soldiers and lichterbogen. But I also have French (Hartford) and Italian (Naples) creche figures.
Beautiful decoration on the violin.
