Madame Angot's Daughter is a successful 19th century comic opera, written by Charles Lecocq in the style of his greatest rival, Jacques Offenbach. This love story features Clairette, a sharp-tongued orphan, and Pomponnet, the neighborhood's hairdresser – a nice man deemed unattractive by Clairette. While these two are fictitious, some other characters actually existed: the rebel poet Ange Pitou, actress Mademoiselle Lange, and a whole other range of Parisian figures. The story takes place at the end of the French Revolution, when the Incroyables and Merveilleuses ruled over the French capital as it was slowly recovering from the Reign of Terror. In this frenzied atmosphere, sweet romance and humorous ensemble numbers go hand in hand.

Opéra National De Lyon

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s tale, The Steadfast Tin Soldier revisits the story of a soldier and a dancer balanced on one leg. The two performers create a sensitive dialogue around difference and the way bodies are perceived.
