BAROQUE "COMEDIE-BALLET" NOT A TOTAL BORE!

Say you thought Rameau's 18th-century comedie-ballet Platee was a boring, elitist relic, powerless to make modern audiences laugh sagely at the petty meddling of jaded gods in earthly life. Well, we'd recommend you go over the New York City Opera at Lincoln Center and see madman/genius choreographer Mark Morris's production of this Baroque theater work, in which Zeus pretends to be in love with a vain frog queen. Set in a terrarium, this production of Platee is certainly no more boring and elitist than the most recent VH1 Vogue Fashion Awards show was-- and, with costumes by Isaac Mizrahi, the show is tons more stylish.

Platee is being presented only four more times during NYCO's spring season: April 14, 18, 20, and 22. For tickets, call 212-307-4100-- and say that Platform sent ya (like that'll mean anything to the zombies who staff those phones).
