Composer of the Week: Offenbach

on BBC Radio 3

Patrick O'Connor introduces
Offenbach's last great success.
La fille du tambour-major Spirited convent girl Stella discovers that nothing her mother, the Duchess della Volta, told her about life and love is strictly true. A dashing lieutenant, a drummer boy and a vivandière give the aristocrats more than they bargained for when they are billeted at the castle, while Stella finds love - and her real father.
Choeurs Rene Duclos
Orchestre de la Societe des
Concerts du Conservatoire, conductor Felix Nuvolone
