Musicians of the Lyon Opera Orchestra, performing in a small ensemble, explore the world of operetta and the craze for musical exoticism that captivated artists in the 19th century and persisted into the 20th. Franz Lehár composed his operetta The Land of Smiles, set between Vienna and Beijing. Albert Ketèlbey depicted the life of an Oriental market through music; Carl Zeller left a lasting mark with numerous successful operettas, while pianist and composer Enrico Toselli toured the world for his career.
