L’Auberge du cheval blanc - Opéra de Lausanne

30 DEC 2021 ON ARTE: From 30 December on, the ARTE Opera Season presents “L’Auberge du cheval blanc“ from the Opéra de Lausanne.

Im Weißen Rössl (At the White Horse Inn) owes its posthumous glory (if not notoriety) to the cloying film adaptations of the 1950s with their blend of alpine folklore, Viennese operetta, and Berlin cabaret set against a picturesque backdrop of snow-capped peaks. Ralph Benatzky’s singspiel remains as popular as ever, even outside the German-speaking world; hence Gilles Rico’s staging of a French adaptation of it by Paul Bonneau in Lausanne.

The performance will be recorded on 21 December and will be available on www.arte.tv/opera from 30 December, 19:00 CET.
