Three sparkling operettas that exemplify Offenbach's irresistible joie de vivre and biting satirical wit. All linked to theatrical productions by Laurent Pelly - a director noted for his comic flair - these recordings offer some rediscovered numbers, since they use specially-prepared editions of the scores. Marc Minkowski conducts with an inimitable and authentic sense of style, while the casts boast such singers as Natalie Dessay, Felicity Lott, Patricia Petibon, Véronique Gens, Yann Beuron, Michel Sénéchal and Laurent Naouri.
