The French Insti­tute of Aus­tria invites you to a screen­ing of the film Chien de la casse de Jean-Bap­tiste Durand.
Dog and Mirales are child­hood friends. They live in a small vil­lage in the South of France and spend most of their days hang­ing out on the streets. Their friend­ship is under­mined by the arrival in the vil­lage of a young girl, Elsa, with whom Dog becomes roman­ti­cal­ly involved. Con­sumed by jeal­ousy, Mirales has to let go of his past to be able to grow up and find his place.

Who would­n’t dream of spend­ing an evening with Jacques Offen­bach, the king of operetta? Dur­ing the Uni­ver­sal Exhi­bi­tion of 1855, he took the oppor­tu­ni­ty to open a small the­atre on the Champs-Elysées: the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens. New kinds of music appeared in the pro­gramme, and the audi­ence — the Sec­ond Empire bour­geoisie — were made fun of, the very peo­ple who came to lis­ten and laugh! Take a trip through the works of the great Jacques Offen­bach and relive the atmos­phere of the “Belle Epoque”: arias, duets, melodies and musi­cal inter­ludes from his most famous works.

This spe­cial con­cert offers the pub­lic the chance to join the artists in singing along to excerpts from Offen­bach’s best-known cho­rus­es. A par­tic­i­pa­to­ry and inter­ac­tive con­cert that gives any­one who’s ever dreamt of being on the artists’ side at a con­cert the chance to do it with their own voice!
