La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein (The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein) is an opéra bouffe, in three acts and four tableaux by Jacques Offenbach to an original French libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. The story is a satirical critique of unthinking militarism and concerns a spoiled and tyrannical young Grand Duchess who learns that she cannot always get her way. The opera premiered in Paris in 1867 and starred Hortense Schneider in the title role. Thereafter, it was heard in New York, London and elsewhere, and it is still performed and recorded. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Grande-Duchesse_de_G%C3%A9rolstein ▶️ More great classical music: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO09Th4dLYVmVRpaFH9-imHCs_EPDjnHS 🔔 Subscribe to The Wicked North for the very best in classical music: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheWickedNorth #ClassicalMusic #Offenbach
