Soirée Offenbach: Concert Various

In the spirit of the German tradition of end-of-year concerts, the Orchester National d'Île-de-France is offering an Offenbach evening under the direction of Karen Kamensek.

It is up to Karen Kamensek to lead this evening devoted to Offenbach, “the little Mozart of the Champs-Élysées”. The American conductor is perfectly cut out for the task, because if she is a benchmark interpreter of contemporary music in general and of Philip Glass in particular, she is also familiar with a lighter repertoire, which she notably had the opportunity to conduct at the time (in the early 2000s) when she was conductor of the Volksoper in Vienna, a mecca for operetta. In the imperial city, the adopted Parisian Offenbach enjoyed countless successes between 1860 and 1879, his operettas there often having a full house in their German translation.
