Des Bouffes À Broadway by Various, Du (2024/2024), Chef d'orchestre Xavier Ribes, Grand Théâtre, Angers, France

Opera is for everyone. Everything that sings enchants us, all the voices that resonate in our memory, near or far, speak to us about ourselves and our love of music. This is the meaning of our concerts “it's better by singing it”, which will convince you that the opera belongs to you and neighbors without complex with other musical genres, learned or popular. One speaks of lightness, of entertainment when one evokes the operetta or the musical comedy. And it is undeniable that these two genres, on each side of the Atlantic, have always brought joy and happiness to their audiences, in the Broadway theaters dear to Gershwin and Cole Porter, as well as on the Parisian boulevards where Offenbach, Hervé , Messenger, and so many others since the middle of the 19th century . But to be rhythmic, heady and lastingly popular, these musics have no less the nostalgic charm of the happy days, ageless henceforth, of which they want to continue to testify and that we appropriated for a long time.
