Le bourgeois Gentilhomme
*Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme* is a 1670 comedy-ballet by Molière (with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully) that satirizes Monsieur Jourdain, a wealthy but foolish merchant who obsessively tries to rise into aristocratic society by taking lessons in music, dancing, fencing, and philosophy, while remaining comically oblivious to those who flatter and exploit him.
