Description

Two sparkling one-act operettas by Offenbach, sung, acted and danced by the Fortunio Company.<p> Two one-act operettas by Offenbach</p><p> Booklets by Frébeault, Delacour and Morand</p><p> Sung, acted, and danced by the Compagnie Fortunio, two little gems by Offenbach, two variations for four characters on the theme of a wedding day that doesn't go as planned! The first, an "operetta of yesteryear" set during the reign of Louis XV, stages misunderstandings and romantic rivalry between two ancient and respectable professions, set to music that delightfully pastiches the style of Gluck, Mozart, and Grétry. The second, in which the young bride, for unexpected reasons, forbids her husband from entering her boudoir, is a very Second Empire vaudeville worthy of Labiche, which Offenbach electrifies with the frenetic rhythms that are his trademark!</p>
