Wonderful Town

With a keen sensitivity to the demands and specificities of the American “musical”, and after the triumph of Sondheim’s Follies in 2015, the Opéra de Toulon once again embarked on a Broadway adventure with the French premiere of Bernstein’s Wonderful Town, and brought back for the occasion stage director Olivier Bénézech, a major connoisseur of the genre. A true declaration of love to the city of New-York, Wonderful Town tells the tale, with a boisterous rhythm and vast amounts of jazzy tunes, of two sisters from Ohio looking for success and glory in the big city. Lighter in tone than later works like West Side Story or Candide, its smart combination of the different musical traditions one could hear when wandering in the streets of New-York, its accomplished orchestral writing and colouring, and its vivid sense of comedy earned it no less than five Tony awards when it premiered in 1953.

Waiting for April

Waiting for April is a romantic, epic cop comedy freely inspired by songs and medieval fables collected by storyteller Michel Faubert. Detective Haffigan investigates a mysterious singing bone, a talisman endowed with dangerous powers, and chased after by a coterie of second-rate outlaws. The bone turns out to be in possession of Mithridate, a seductive actor with a gorilla’s right arm. Haffigan expresses romantic interest in the charming comedian, but he rebuffs her, instead setting his sights on Eleonore, a cashier at the Bank of Permanent Fog, who promises to liberate him from the bone’s curse.

Elias Ehlers: Far

FAR is Elias Ehlers' third one-man show. As the title suggests, the show is about Elias' new role in life – a role that has turned his world upside down. Elias became a father just over a year ago and quickly decided that he wanted to create a show about his first year as a new father. It is a hectic and overwhelming period, where there is not really any space to say all the things that make your head explode. Elias creates that space with "FAR" and invites the audience right into what for him is a beautiful, frightening, and completely crazy time, which has also made him look inward and see who he really is and who he wants to be. The result is an uncontrollably entertaining show that may also make you wiser – no matter where you are in life.
