L’Étoile

“Man cannot live by champagne alone -- he also needs the music of Emmanuel Chabrier, which is the aesthetic equivalent of a chilled split of Dom Perignon.” – The Washington Post

La Belle Époque meets Broadway razzle-dazzle in Mark Lamos’s stylish staging inspired by Toulouse-Lautrec, bringing his famous can-can girls to life with effervescent dances choreographed by Seán Curran. Tenor Jean-Paul Fouchécourt stars in this caper about a king, an astrologer, and a hapless peddler.
