The Cast & Orchestra of 'Les Cloches de Corneville' (1907)
Les Cloches de Corneville (The Bells of Corneville) is an opéra-comique in three acts. The story, set at the turn of the 18th century, depicts the return of an exiled aristocrat to his ancestral castle, the machinations of the miserly steward to secure the family's fortune for himself, and the changing amorous pairings of the four juvenile leads. The opera was Planquette's first full-length stage work and opened in 1877, when it broke box-office records in Paris and London, where it set a new long-run record for musical theatre worldwide.
