3. Les Amants magnifiques: Entrée d'Apollon
The gold-painted King is dancing in the park, in front of the fountain.
Conductor: Reinhard Goebel
Orchestra: Musica Antiqua Köln
Choreographer: Beatrice Massin
The young King Louis XIV: Emil Tarding
Lully: Boris Terral
The adult King: Benoît Magimel

I know.
(je sais - correct ?) :)
It was someone else who asked for "Marie Antoinette"...

@2serveand2protect c'est le Roi Louis XIV pas le Roi Louis XVI, qui a été marié a SAI la archiduchesse Marie Antoinette d'Autriche.

thereis nothing gay or notin showing of. he had to do it. for survival. i have seen apparently effeminate males being fiercest fighters. equally for women. not so tender a gender.
all in all, it's about the beauty and balance (helas,another martial quality) of his display. the music is absolute bliss, cover version by Haendel, over the Channel, perhaps. Merci, Ms JB Lulluy

How extraordinary! I'd like to see the whole film

Thank you so much for uploading! Amazing!

Thank you! But I was hoping to see the bit of rehearsal too. I can't remember exactly which part it was from, but the music from from Lully's opera, Armide, which is my all time favorite!

@Orchidbeautyful
"If that's Louis dancing - where is Marie Antoinette?"
???
Strange how it's easy to notice that someone's American...

@YehUdoMe The male dancers in these scenes, dressed as they are, are completely masculine. The dances are displays - in the context of their time - of the power of the king and of the state. That you wouldn't see this is of course not surprising, given that you use the word "gay" as a pejorative.
