How do the golden youth of Paris entertain themselves, who will the world-famous actress give her heart to and who the engaged but mischievous Swedish baron coming to France to taste Paris hidden charms? And what is the role of a rich and passionate Brazilian? See all that and much more in Jacques Offenbach's musical spectacle THE PARISIAN LIFE, with the libretto translation and adaptation done by Igor Weidlich, directed and adapted by Robert Boskovic, conducted by Vesna Souc and choreographed by Milica Cerovic!

Love games, comedy of confusion, magnificent atmosphere, playful singers and actors. Laughter, music, splendour of choreography, richness of the stage and costumes is a sufficient reason to be at the opening of the Opera & Theatre Madlenianum 2022/2023 season and feel the spirit of love, the spirit of PARISIAN LIFE!
