Opéra en direct

Robinson Crusoe on screen(s). Comic opera in 3 acts by Jacques Offenbach.

While Offenbach?s operettas are a regular feature of lyric theaters, his more serious works are rarely performed, with the exception of Les Contes d?Hoffmann.

The music of Robinson Crusoe reveals treasures of imagination and color, carried by the Orchestre National de Bretagne and conductor Guillaume Tourniaire, one of the greatest specialists in French music. Who better than Laurent Pelly to stage this little-known score and strike a subtle balance between laughter and poetry, while questioning our relationship with the unknown and the foreign?

Ages 8 and up. Sung opera with French surtitles.
