LA VIE PARISIENNE
Opéra-bouffe en 4 actes
Composer : Jacques Offenbach (1819-80)
Libretto : Henri Meilhac & Ludovic Halévy
First performance : Théâtre des Variétés, Paris, 25 Sept 1873 (revision of 1866 version)
SETTING: Paris, 19th century
PLOT: The vicomte Raoul de Garde-Feu, pretending to be a tour guide, takes charge of a Swedish baron with a beautiful wife, and shows them the sights of Paris - while plotting to seduce the baroness. The vicomte installs the baron de Gondremark and the baroness in his own apartment, which he tells them is an annexe of the Grand-Hôtel. He holds a party in their honour at the house of a Swiss admiral, where all the guests are servants in disguise. The opera finishes in a salon of the Café-Anglais, where Raoul is reunited with his mistress Métella, whom the baron had hoped to bed.
No. 17:
A. Final: ‘Soupons, soupons, c'est le moment’
B. Chanson à boire: ‘En endossant mon uniforme’
At the party given for the Baron de Gondremarck, all the guests get howling drunk on burgundy, champagne or claret- or, in the Baron’s case, on everything.
