About

"Acclaimed director Laurent Pelly is one of the most renowned and prolific interpreters of Offenbach’s brilliantly inventive operettas, including several productions for the Opéra de Lyon. The composer’s satirical and hilarious opéra bouffe version of Charles Perrault’s 17th century tale of the serial wife-murdering Bluebeard (in which no-one actually gets murdered!), deftly walks the line between humour and cruelty, with a stellar performance from Yann Beuron in the title role. This special release also includes a 50-minute documentary - Tales of Offenbach – created by the distinguished film-maker, Reiner E.Moritz. Narrated by Dame Felicity Lott, the film includes interviews with the cast and creatives of this sparkling production."

Pelly’s 11th Offenbach staging, captured at Opéra de Lyon in 2019, is as theatrically sharp, detailed and clear as we’d expect from him…Héloïse Mas holds the centre strongly, wielding her firm, sturdy mezzo-soprano as a weapon with which to bludgeon both masculine and feminine competition.
