Fête galante

'Fête galante' means love feast and refers to the paintings that show the parties and excesses of
the French nobility in the 18th century. In the popular Danish composer Poul Schierbecks 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 written the melodies for some of the most popular Danish songs, including "I was born in Denmark", "Hør den lille stær" and "It's today a weather". The main work Fête galante is his only opera.
