Fête galante
'Fête galante' refers to the paintings that show the parties and excesses of the French nobility in the 18th century. In the popular Danish composer Poul Schierbeck's Fête galante, such a love fest gets out of control when Count René leads the young Suzon into the dark, and this has major consequences. Poul Schierbeck has the melodies for some of the most popular Danish songs but the masterpiece Fête galante is his only opera.
