About this Event
White Horse Opera La Belle Helene
La Belle Helene is a comic opera by Jacques Offenbach, the piece parodies the story of Helen of Troy's elopement with Paris, which set off the Trojan War.
Having been promised the most beautiful woman in the world by Venus, Paris arrives in disguise as a shepherd boy with the aim of cashing in that promise.
Helene currently married to Menelaus wards off his advances. However, when Paris comes to her while she is sleeping she believes it all to be in her dreams so it must therefore be all fine
Do come and see the fire works that ensue when Menelaus comes home early and discovers the lovers!
Fully staged, sung in English with orchestra
Hilariously funny with beautiful music
