La bella Helena An adaptation of Jacques Offenbach's classic made by China Zorrilla and Taco Larreta, closing a year of tributes and celebration for its centenary. With the stage direction Rita Cosentino and the music of the Montevideo Symphonic Band under the direction of Martín Jorge, together with the National Comedy and outstanding national lyrical voices. This 19th-century buffoon operetta humorously and sarcastically parodies Helen's flight with Paris from the Trojan War, using Greek mythology as a tool for analysis and criticism of French society during the Second Empire. On stage Claudia Rossi and Julio Reolón in the roles of Helena and Paris, together with Juan Antonio Saraví, Ariel Caldarelli, Ariel Cazes and Agustín Pennino. Enrique Boldorini will be in charge of the set design, while José Luis Fiorruccio will do the lighting design. Both arrive especially from the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires for the performance. The renowned Uruguayan designer and costume designer, Nelson Mancebo, will have the costume design in his hands. A great show for the whole family, a closing of the year that reconstructs the historical version of China Zorrilla and Taco Larreta, more than 30 years after its last premiere in Montevideo.
