Mesdames et Messieurs, bienvenue! Welcome to the sixteen eighties – the pink revolution of the French Baroque. Toute la nuit we dance at the court of none other than Louis XIV. But let’s be honest: le Roi Soleil has made enough history, so for him only a paltry supporting role in this libretto.

We present to you Julie d’Aubigny, better known as Madame de Maupin: opera diva, duellist and rebel. This queen of colouratura fights with her voice and her sword against the stifling social norms and classes of her time. And conquers the hearts of many men and women. Today, this queer icon avant la lettre claims her place in history.

Join us on ratgirl summer in Versailles. A true story that is so exciting it will leave your ears ruby red. We go way beyond the ball!
