La Belle Hélène (2000)
Directed by Laurent Pelly, Ross MacGibbon
“La Belle Hélène (2000) Théâtre du Châtelet. Offenbach / French”
Music · 2h 33m
This is a joy from beginning to end. Although there are many tricks and ideas from Laurent Pelly, as always he seems to still retain the Offenbach magic. La Lott and Monsieur Beuron are a joy, but so is everyone else. The Patriotic Trio by the sea is both a hoot and wonderfully sung, the score seems truly complete yet never flags and the finale sequences for especially acts 1 & 2 are a joy of movement and sound fused as one glorious Offenbachian moment.
