Summary
Paul Daniel conducts the Hallé, the ENO and RNCM choruses, and a cast of soloists in Offenbach’s Barkouf at The Bridgewater Hall.
Why it's fantastic
This rarely performed satire features a dog elected as a local governor to teach a lesson to a rebellious city. It is a sharp, witty political comedy from the creator of the famous Can-Can, brought to life here by a huge cast and a popular impressionist as the narrator.
