Chabrier - Une Education Manquee / Cassard, Le Chevalier, Benavente, Swierczewski, Compiegne Opera

This operetta by Emmanuel Chabrier is the story of a young man in 18th century Paris discovering what it is to be married. With an enchanting score and fine vocal writing, this charming work is a welcome rediscovery. Noted director and producer Pierre Jourdan has been staging opera since 1968. In 1988, he founded the Thtre Franais de la Musique and the association Pour le Thtre Imprial in the Thtre Imprial de Compigne. Every year, he directs and produces different lyric works with the mission to rediscover the French musical and lyrical repertoire from the post-baroque to today and to restore an authentic French style to the singers and the orchestras which accompany them. These productions have been triumphantly welcomed by the public and critics alike
