About

Vasily Petrenko brings the experience of his wide operatic repertoire to this performance of Un Mari à la Porte, recorded live at the first staged performance in Britain of Offenbach’s comic opera at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in 2008.

A Husband at the Door is one of Offenbach's dozens of early one-act entertainments written for the Bouffes-Parisien, in which young Florestan, chased by a bailiff, ends up trapped in the bedroom of just-married Suzanne along with her friend Rosita, while at the door knocks Suzanne's husband - the very bailiff chasing Florestan.

Offenbach's songs are less well known but he wrote up to a hundred, including the 1842 set Les fables de la Fontaine. Though not well received on first performance, they display the wit and verve typical of the master of the operetta.

Petrenko has had an extraordinary impact on this orchestra and conducts with authority and elan.’ - The Independent
