Offenbach’s La Princesse de Trébizonde

About
Opera Rara returns to the works of Offenbach with a recording and performance of La Princesse de Trébizonde in collaboration with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. A travelling funfair, a lovesick Prince, a lottery ticket and a beautiful young woman pretending to be a waxwork … what could possibly go wrong? Offenbach’s 1869 comic opera La Princesse de Trébizonde is fizzy, funny, brimming with melody and topped off with a delicious little spritz of Gallic sexiness – pure delight, in other words, fresh from the sparkling imagination of the man who invented operetta. Conductor Paul Daniel, a French repertoire specialist, will lead an all-star cast in the UK premiere of Jean-Christophe Keck’s critical edition. This marks the company’s first Offenbach recording project since the release of Fantasio in 2014.
