This piece was performed in December 1666, offering a delightful glimpse into Molières creative genius. Following this, we present a lively Comic Pastoral, performed as part of the Ballet of the Muses in January 1667, which likely replaced the incomplete Melicerte. While only fragments of the script remain—allegedly destroyed by Molière himself—the wit and whimsy of the characters promise an enjoyable experience. - Summary by Translator and ToddHW]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/68630758</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 Nov 2025 01:07:50 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/68630758/001_heroic_pastoral_melicerte_act_1.mp3" length="11070693" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/463fd78b-1d81-457c-b351-5d7dde65ec79/463fd78b-1d81-457c-b351-5d7dde65ec79.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/463fd78b-1d81-457c-b351-5d7dde65ec79/463fd78b-1d81-457c-b351-5d7dde65ec79.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/463fd78b-1d81-457c-b351-5d7dde65ec79/463fd78b-1d81-457c-b351-5d7dde65ec79.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Molière</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Join us on a captivating journey into the world of Molière as we explore his unfinished Heroic Pastoral, inspired by the enchanting tale of Florizel and Perdita from Shakespeares Winter’s Tale.
