The Postillon Of Lonjumeau

  • © Stefan Brion

On the day of his marriage, coachman Chapelou is spotted by the director of the Opéra who hires him as a soloist and takes him to Paris. But Madeleine wants to recover her husband. Is it a story about social advancement under the Ancien Régime? Or a cheerful tribute by the industrial 19th century to the gallant 18th? Or else the adventure of a seducer caught out at his own game? It’s all that and much more. Adolphe Adam’s mythical work is back at the Opéra Comique where it was premiered but has not been shown since 1894.
