Oh La La La! – When drama becomes music
There's nothing like theatre to bring different generations together and rekindle the magic of a concert.
With Oh La La La!, the Opéra national de Nancy-Lorraine invites you on a musical journey full of fantasy, where childhood innocence dialogues in music with adult nostalgia. From the mischievous spontaneity of bawdy songs to the light and sparkling tunes of operettas, the programme celebrates joy, dreams and the pleasure of singing together.
Between bursts of laughter and gentle melancholy, Poulenc, Offenbach, Cole Porter and many others provide the soundtrack to this tender and fun-filled journey, where memories and imagination intertwine. A timeless moment, where seriousness fades away to make way for enchantment, playfulness and that precious carefree spirit that brings young and old together.
‘Youkali is the land of our desires,
Youkali is happiness and pleasure.
Youkali is the land where we leave all our worries behind, In our night, it is a ray of sunshine, the star we follow.’
Youkali by Kurt Weill

Youkali, c’est le pays de nos désirs Youkali, c’est le bonheur, c’est le plaisir Youkali, c’est la terre où l’on quitte tous les soucis
C’est, dans notre nuit, comme une éclaircie
L’étoile qu’on suit.
Youkali de Kurt Weill
