Pin It

Offenbach's La Belle Helene tells the inside story, somehow overlooked by Homer, of how, with the help of that capriciously relentless goddess of love, Venus, Prince Paris of Troy succeeded in seducing beautiful Helen. By combining Donald Pippin's incomparable English version with his narrative flair, using minimal scenic elements and a pocket-sized philharmonic on stage along with the singers, Pocket Opera is theater for the heart and mind.
