Michael Rosewell conductor

Come and help us celebrate the 150th birthday of the cancan!

Jacques Offenbach's first full-length operetta - a gloriously entertaining blend of irreverant grand opera parody and vicious social satire - was already a big hit when it opened in Paris in 1858. But when two years later he added the notorious 'galop' (better known as the cancan) for a revival in Vienna, he created an international sensation that ran on Broadway and in the West End, and has been delighting audiences ever since.

Do join us for a packed evening of pure entertainment, featuring gods and humans, heaven and hell, morality and scandal, catchy tunes and biting wit, and perhaps some frilly knickers...
