Jacques Offenbach searched for the composer of a waltz his mother used to sing when he was a child. Inspired by this detail from the composer's life, the young director Barthélémy Fortier and musical director Guillemette Daboval envision a miniature comic opera brought to life through excerpts from Offenbach's greatest operas. The artists of the Académie showcase their full theatrical and vocal talent in this performance.
