THE HAPPY WIDOW by Franz Lehár

The best known of all Viennese operettas, and rightly so! With The Merry Widow , Franz Lehár strikes a unique balance between enthusiasm, joie de vivre, good humor and sensuality – that sensuality so typical of the Viennese art of living during the Belle Époque.

While a party is organized in Paris in the salons of an embassy, ​​a wealthy widow makes her appearance. The Tout-Paris murmurs that Prince Danilo should marry her but, when she was still only a young girl of the people, he had to refuse her hand... In any case, isn't she today? now more seduced by the dashing Camille? Ah! The wanderings of the heart and the mind… A story that was ultimately more daring for the time than it seems.

To serve this little jewel of elegance and humor, the team gathered around Benoit Bénichou at the stage and Bruno Membery at the baton is made up of the best specialists in the genre with, in the main roles, a duo with local colors. : Marseille baritone Frédéric Cornille and Camille Schnoor, formidable soprano… from Nice!

English

La plus connue de toutes les opérettes viennoises, et à juste titre ! Avec La Veuve joyeuse, Franz Lehár parvient à un équilibre unique entre entrain, joie de vivre, bonne humeur et sensualité – cette sensualité si typique de l’art de vivre viennois de la Belle Époque.

Alors qu’une fête est organisée à Paris dans les salons d’une ambassade, une richissime veuve fait son apparition. Le Tout-Paris murmure que le Prince Danilo devrait l’épouser mais, alors qu’elle n’était encore qu’une jeune fille du peuple, il avait dû refuser sa main… De toute manière, n’est-elle pas aujourd’hui davantage séduite par le fringuant Camille ? Ah ! Les égarements du cœur et de l’esprit… Une histoire finalement plus audacieuse pour l’époque qu’il n’y paraît.

Pour servir ce petit bijou d’élégance et de drôlerie, l’équipe réunie autour de Benoit Bénichou à la mise en scène et Bruno Membrey à la baguette est composée des meilleurs spécialistes du genre avec, dans les rôles principaux, un duo aux couleurs locales : le baryton marseillais Frédéric Cornille et Camille Schnoor, formidable soprano… niçoise !
