Parisian Life

Approved

On the eve of the Universal Exhibition of 1867, Paris is preparing to welcome the whole world, which will have to be entertained. At the height of his glory, Offenbach took the opportunity to bite into the intoxication of the City of Light.

 

Abandoned by Métella, Raoul de Gardefeu, idle dandy, decides to become the lover of a woman of the world.

He seizes the opportunity that his former servant has to show Paris to a Swedish aristocratic couple to take his place. He will not seduce the baroness, but will play with a gentleman, who has come to "screw himself up, screw him up to that point".

Jacques Offenbach will never stop reworking this score whose libretto "is made by young people whose wit and gaiety are the fashion of the last day" (Le Ménestrel).
