 "Platée" was last performed complete during Rameau's lifetime in 1759.The next production would not take place until 1901 in Munich, in a heavily adapted German version by Hans Schilling-Ziemssen.The French version reappeared at a production in Monte Carlo in 1917 but "Platée" only returned to France at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 1956 with young tenor Michel Sénéchal as the queen of frogs, a part which Mr Sénéchal took again in the revival presented by the Paris Opera at the Salle Favart in 1977, with Michel Plasson as conductor.
