Celebrated director Laurent Pelly is one of the most renowned and prolific interpreters of Offenbach's brilliantly inventive operettas, including several productions for the Opera de Lyon. This satirical and hilarious opera buffa version of Charles Perrault's 17th-century story of the serial-killing Bluebeard (in which no one is actually murdered!) deftly walks the fine line between humor and cruelty, with an outstanding performance by Yann Beuron in the title role. This special release also includes a 50-minute documentary - Tales of Offenbach - created by respected filmmaker Reiner E. Moritz. Narrated by Dame Felicity Lott, the film includes interviews with the cast and creators of this brilliant production.
