Directed by Laurent Delvert with original music by Jacopo Raffaele, this pop-opera is a sparkling satire of musical theatre inspired by Carlo Goldoni’s L’impresario delle Smirne. A struggling troupe scrambles to save its season when a wealthy patron arrives, triggering lies, flattery, extravagant demands and comic negotiations. The staging and colourful characters deliver sharp, vivacious comedy that, beneath the laughter, exposes artists’ fear, stage fright, precarity and resilient hope.
In French.
