Le Bourgeois gentilhomme
With Lully he again used music for "Monsieur de Pourceaugnac", for "Les Amants magnifiques", and finally for "Le Bourgeois gentilhomme" ("The Middle Class Gentleman"), another of his masterpieces. It is claimed to be particularly directed against Colbert, the minister who had condemned his old patron Fouquet. The collaboration with Lully ended with a "tragédie et ballet", "Psyché", written in collaboration with Pierre Corneille and Philippe Quinault.
