I love love this operetta

Masterpiece. For those who will start paying attention to AI only after it learns to translate spoken bits of French operetta to Czech with a hint of French accent (à la Chief Inspector Clouseau), below are times of main musical pieces. 1:47 11:16 Floridor/Célestin 18:34 28:56 Tin soldier 34:07 40:04 46:20 Farewell 55:00 1:03:26 1:12:29 1:19:01 1:26:18 1:31:10 1:37:20 Drummer 1:40:31 1:50:04 1:52:58 1:56:27 2:00:35

Excellent!

Ridiculously funny and well played! I wonder how many of the weird turns here would go back to the way it was performed during "la Belle Époque" (premiered in 1886): is this one often reworked and "modernized" for modern productions?
