Adam – Le Postillon de Lonjumeau / Opéra Comique
Michel Fau’s critically-acclaimed 2019 production of Adam’s Le Postillon de Lonjumeau staged at the Opéra Comique features a brilliant cast of performers.
Opéra-comique in three acts (1836)
Libretto by Adolphe de Leuven and Léon-Lévy Brunswick
Adolphe Adam’s Le Postillon de Lonjumeau was a great success at its premiere in 1836, and, along with the ballet Giselle, has remained one of the composer’s most popular works. Following the great French tradition, this opéra-comique has it all: 18th-century Rococo Parisian glamour and a perilous love story involving the dashing and flirtatious Chapelou and his opposite, the powerful and clever Madeleine. This lavish and spectacular production from the Opéra Comique in Paris received widespread critical acclaim and also features costumes by the iconic French fashion designer Christian Lacroix.
