Jacques Offenbach's 1866 opéra-bouffe gets a contemporary staging by Valérie Lesort, with the Comédie-Française troupe performing this witty satire of Second Empire Paris. Animal-inspired choreography and intricate puppets animate Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy's libretto, which skewers a pleasure-ruled capital where visitors, businessmen, and the demi-monde collide in farcical entanglements. Surtitles in English and French keep the wordplay sharp.
