From Saturday 28 to Sunday 29 September 2024.
Clairette, Madame Angot's daughter, has inherited her mother's fiery temperament and does not hesitate to defy the Directoire police. She can't decide whether to marry the chansonnier Ange Pitou or the amiable Pomponnet, a wigmaker by trade...
Heir to Offenbach, Lecocq has established himself as one of the greatest geniuses of comic opera. With La Fille de Madame Angot, he creates a delicate social and political satire that is as amusing as it is caustic, with brilliant music and a libretto full of verve, this funny, thrilling work rightly remains one of the great successes of the light repertoire.
With a flamboyant all-French cast, Richard Brunel and Chloé Dufresne bring out all the topicality of this seething social fresco, which paints the portrait of a combative youth in love with truth and freedom.
