Offenbach was at the height of his fame when he wrote this succulent, entertaining mirror of Parisian high society. With a dizzying libretto by the duo Meilhac and Halévy, he composed a delightful ode to the festive pleasures of his time. The Palazzetto Bru Zane and its partners invite you to discover the original version of La Vie parisienne as imagined by its author in 1866. An original Vie parisienne, but one that retains the charm and presence of the pages that made it famous.
Anne-Catherine Gillet plays the glove-maker Gabrielle, while Pierre Derhet brings to life the characters of the Brazilian, Frick and Gontran.
