In May 1664, Louis XIV hosted a dazzling and extravagant fête at Versailles, delighting both the Queen-mother, Anne of Austria, and his wife, Maria Theresa. The highlight of the event was the enchanting performance of The Princess of Elis, a comedy-ballet crafted by Molière.

While Molières signature wit and humor shine through, they are tempered by the constraints of courtly decorum.
