A glance into 17th-century French literature, history, politics, music, gender studies, this program is based on music inspired by and/or related to the intriguing Abbot de Choisy, a prolific French author from the 17th century in France. Abbot de Choisy was a close confidant of King Louis XIV and volunteered to be sent to Siam by the King and lived there for a period of time. In addition, he also led a scandalous life as Mme. Sancy / Comtesse des Barres, who attended and hosted numerous musical soirées for the nobility dressed as a woman. The presentation is about 25 minutes (throughout the performance), and 40 minutes of music.
