Helen Goes to Troy (1944) - repro
Choose options
Jacques Offenbach, Max Reinhardt, and Gottfried Reinhardt’s 'Helen Goes to Troy' completed a celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Alvin Theatre in 1944, running for an astonishing 96 performances under the banner of the New Opera Company. Masterfully re-engineering Offenbach’s classic operetta *La Belle Hélène*, the breathless farcical plot turns ancient Sparta into an active playground of door-slamming physical slapstick and vocal showmanship templates under the direction templates of Reinhardt, starring Jarmila Novotná.
