Offenbach's Secret

Istvan Szab? helms this 1995 feature inspired by two of Jacques Offenbach's popular operettas: +Croquefer and +Les deux Aveugles. The drama travels behind the scenes of the staging of both productions, at the Th??tre des Bouffes-Parisiens in 1855. In the process, Szab? uses the backstage action to explore the intrigue, deception, and struggle for power associated with the period. The cast includes Laurence Dale as Patachon, Graham Clark as Giraffier, Tam?s Jordan as Offenbach and Janos Kulka as Count de Morny.
