“Long live the great Cacatois!

Long live the great Cacatois!

Let us repeat all together,

Repat all together, with tenderness:

Long life, long live the grand Cacatois! Yes!

FANTASY


FROM 6 YEARS OLD

Libretto by Henri Chivot and Alfred Duru

For 18 years, Theodorine has been hiding a secret… a secret that is improbable, unheard of and completely unlikely. A secret well hidden from all the inhabitants of the mysterious Tulipatan Island where misunderstandings and din punctuate the delirious days! Until the day when Duke Cacatois XXII and the Grand Seneschal Romboidal suspect something…

Isolated from the rest of the world, on their island in the middle of the ocean, the inhabitants of Tulipatan live trapped in their traditions. Most of them are happy with it, the atmosphere is zany and anything absurd can seem normal to them, even singing “quack, quack, quack” in chorus with their great leader! But others would like to be bold enough to reveal their true nature.

L’Île de Tulipatan, a single act opera buffa, is a unique and amazing musical adventure for the whole family. This new, participative, funny and daring adaptation invites children and adults alike to break down stereotypes. Still very topical, Offenbach’s work joyfully presents a song for freedom and is a model of its kind…
