This show, performed by artists from the Académie de l'Opéra-Comique and designed by Barthélémy Fortier and Guillemette Daboval, is inspired by a true story: after the death of his mother, Jacques Offenbach sought out the author of a waltz she used to sing to him when he was a child. This show, a veritable miniature opera, takes us on a journey through various excerpts from the composer's operas.
