It's first, slightly scandalizing performance in Paris was quickly followed by productions in Vienna, Berlin, London, Milan and New York.   A satire of middle-class values, this op ra bouffe - told through the story of Paris and Helen, and her abduction by the Trojan prince disguised as a shepherd - pillories narrow-mindedness in society.   Adopting a pro-active stance, director Renaud Doucet and designer Andr  Barbe treat the piece as a \"great show\" with numerous choreographic elements, relocating the action of Offenbach's classical spoof and setting it on a cruise ship in the 1960s, when Flower Power, love and drugs were all the rage.   \"La Belle H l ne is a firework display for ears and eyes...\" (Hamburger Morgenpost), \"opulent and amusing\" (Bild), and, in the title role, Jennifer Larmore convinces with her \"fantastic vocal performance.\" (Das Opernglas)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: DVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: C MAJOR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre\/category: CLASSICAL, ORCHESTRAL \u0026amp; SYMPHONIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease date: 7\/31\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable quantity: 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"mediamall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53690811547941,"sku":"3H40ZM-M7TY-0U","price":35.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/8142\/3397\/files\/la-belle-helene-dvd_qLM8n.jpg?v=1787908174","url":"https:\/\/mediamall.com\/products\/la-belle-helene-dvd","provider":"mediamall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
