Concert-éveil : Les Secrets de la Belle Hélène

Who was the famous Helen? An irreproachable queen... or a heroine ready to wobble a whole kingdom?

In this awakening concert, young and old discover Offenbach’s La Belle Hélène, a sparkling operetta where kings and heroes sometimes lose their seriousness!

Hélène is bored in Sparta, Paris arrives with his irresistible charm, Menelaus tries to save appearances... but very quickly, everything is racing in a succession of situations as funny as unexpected.

Through the best-known tunes, children will understand how music highlights characters, highlights exaggerations and accompanies the twists and turns of history. A lively and playful way to enter the world of operetta and discover that a myth can also become a comedy full of surprises.
