Offenbach La Belle Hélène ( Felicity Lott with Les Musiciens du Louvre, Marc Minkowski), Act 2, 3

From the Theatre du Chatelet, Paris, Laurent Pellys production of Offenbachs parody of the origins of the Trojan War combines a musically superb performance with a stream of visual humor that flows from his core idea that the action all takes place in the imagination of a sleeping, sexstarved, suburban housewife.
