Synopsis
Mouret's Les Fêtes de Thalie is an opéra-ballet which broke with serious French operas by putting contemporary characters on stage. Thalia, the muse of comedy, guides the spirit of the work, which looks at love through the eyes of three women -- La Fille (the girl), La Veuve Coquette (the coquettish widow) and La Femme (the wife), along with their companions.
