Le bourgeois gentilhomme
*Le Bourgeois gentilhomme* is a 1670 comedy-ballet by Molière (with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully) about Monsieur Jourdain, a wealthy but foolish commoner who tries to rise into aristocratic society by learning music, dancing, fencing, and philosophy—and by dressing and acting like a nobleman—only to be endlessly mocked and deceived along the way.
