THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Offenbach: Barbe-Bleue
Yann Beuron (Barbe-Bleue); Carl Ghazarossian (Prince Saphir); Jennifer Courcier (Fleurette); Héloïse Mas (Boulotte); Christophe Gay (Popolani); Nabil Suliman (Comte Oscar); Christophe Mortagne (Roi Bobeche); Aline Martin (Reine Clémentine)
Acclaimed director Laurent Pelly is one of the most renowned and prolific interpreters of Offenbach’s brilliantly inventive operettas, including several productions for the Opéra de Lyon. The composer’s satirical and hilarious opéra bouffe version of Charles Perrault’s 17th century tale of the serial wife-murdering Bluebeard (in which no-one
actually gets murdered!), deftly walks the line between humour and cruelty, with a stellar performance from Yann Beuron in the title role.
This special release also includes a 50-minute documentary - Tales of Offenbach – created by the distinguished film-maker, Reiner E.Moritz. Narrated by Dame Felicity Lott, the film includes interviews with the
cast and creatives of this sparkling production.

"… the production is a farce of the finest, which mocks the opera of its time as much as the vices of our time…" (Bachtrack ★★★★)
"The charm, whatever it may be, of an Offenbach heroine [Mas as Boulette] that wins our attention and ushers us into his music…" (Opera Today)
