Work: La Belle Hélène

In an all French language opera progromme, Juan Diego Flórez shines in his Dublin leg of Tour l'Amour 

Last night at North London’s Gatehouse theatre saw the Merry Opera Company perform La Belle Hélène, Offenbach’s Trojan War parody of Grand Opera, translated/re-worked by Kit Hesketh-Harvey and enticingly re-labelled Troy Boy. Hesketh-Harvey is best known as half of the cabaret duo Kit and the Widow, but has also been a regular translator of opera for the ENO and others.

L'Opéra de Toulon a remplacé la production de Semiramide qui aurait dû ouvrir sa saison par un magnifique concert lyrique.
