In a fairy tale land where lovelorn hopes, fears, and misunderstandings slowly unravel to offer a most unexpected surprise, a farcical collection of Far East Kings and fearsome executioners enter into a world of love and compelling intrigue. An Opera de Lyon production performed here by an entirely French cast, L'Etoile is a play featuring a variety of gripping twists and a striking similarity to The Mikado that simply cannot be denied.
