The Bandits

“Everyone steals according to one's position in society.” – the recipe for this delectable comic opera by emblematic French composer Jacques Offenbach, regarded as the inventor of the operetta. The story follows a band of brigands led by their chief, Falsacappa, as they attempt to kidnap the princess of Granada and steal the fortune of the Duke of Mantua. Opéra Comique is transformed into an upside-down world, disregarding geography or convenience, and the cheerful plot delights through a marriage of theater, music, madness and laughter, providing an escape from our overly serious world.
