Jean-Philippe Rameau's spectacular, globetrotting drama Les Indes Galantes features extravagant scenes in locales ranging from a Turkish island in the Indian Ocean, to the Inca Empire of Peru, to a Persian festival of flowers and the "savage" forests of North America.

This production is a semi-staged performance by Boston Baroque from Jordan Hall at the New England Conservatory of Music. The ensemble's music director, Martin Pearlman, conducts.
