This creation, a veritable operatic thriller, will compile veiled references to the Opéra Comique and allusions to the trades and places of the theater. There will be investigations and thrills but in a zany vein accessible to children aged 8 and up.
A grand gala is preparing at the Opéra Comique but a succession of events leads to chaos: a squirrel is murdered, a vocalist is attacked by a piece of scenery, flammable substances disappear… Who is responsible for this jumble? Saint Germain, the director, is panicking. He wants to do everything to save his gala. Everything?
