Various - Jacques Offenbach: Barbe-bleue

Acclaimed director Laurent Pelly is one of the most renowned and prolific interpreters of Offenbach�s brilliantly inventive operettas, including several productions for the Op�ra de Lyon. The composer�s satirical and hilarious op�ra bouffe version of Charles Perrault�s 17th century tale of the serial wife-murdering Bluebeard (in which no-oneactually gets murdered!), deftly walks the line between humour and cruelty, with a stellar performance from Yann Beuron in the title role.This special release also includes a 50-minute documentary - Tales of Offenbach � created by the distinguished film-maker, Reiner E.Moritz. Narrated by Dame Felicity Lott, the film includes interviews with thecast and creatives of this sparkling production.
