The comedy-ballet, a genre blending theater, song, and dance, was highly popular in the 17th century . Molière's comedy , Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, interspersed with interludes and featuring music composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully, is undoubtedly the most representative work of the genre. The variety of artistic techniques employed makes it an ideal subject of study for students in the voice and early music departments of the Lyon Regional Conservatory (CRR). A mosaic of selected excerpts will reveal the total art form inherent in the comedy-ballet, as well as the expressive palette of the Baroque, where singers weep and satirize while the instruments dance.
