The impressive line-up includes Peter Coleman-Wright, Cheryl Barker and Cathy-Di Zhang, Nicholas Jones, David Greco and Adrian Tamburini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Plat\u00e9e<\/em>\u2019s thoroughly modern and re-imagined world tells the story of Plat\u00e9e, the irresistibly outlandish marsh nymph who is tricked into believing that Jupiter is in love and wants to marry her.Rameau\u2019s ravishing score is brought to life by Pinchgut\u2019s chorus, Cantillation, and 26 expert Baroque players of the Orchestra of the Antipodes, conducted by Erin Helyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Plat\u00e9e<\/em> is one of the most anticipated digital productions to be released on Pinchgut At Home, after the live performances garnered excellent reviews from both critics and audiences. Artistic Director Erin Helyard said; \u201cI\u2019m immensely proud of <em>Plat\u00e9e<\/em>. It is without question, one of the<br>best productions Pinchgut has ever staged, and it\u2019s wonderful the world now has the opportunity to experience it, with all its energy and intimacy on film.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making his directorial debut with Pinchgut, Neil Armfield explains, \u201cI approached directing <em>Plat\u00e9e<\/em> as an innocent to its world \u2013 it was so far outside my experience and I was both terrified and wide-eyed with wonder. I was surrounded by brave and brilliant colleagues (Erin Helyard not the least of them!) and we closed the rehearsal room door and played, as you must, for the next 4 weeks. The work revealed itself in the most joyful and surprising ways, led by the daring intelligence of Kanen Breen. He\u2019s one of our great clowns and he inspired us all to meet the challenges Rameau has gifted us with his breathtaking artistry and imagination. I\u2019m so proud of the result. Members of dazzled audiences kept saying to us \u2018It\u2019s such moving beautiful fun \u2013 not like opera at all!\u2019 But that\u2019s the point. It is! It\u2019s just waiting to be found.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The performance film of <em>Plat\u00e9e<\/em> premieres on Pinchgut At Home at 9am, Thursday 14 July, and is<br>available for unlimited streaming until 31 December, 2022.
