La Belle Hélène - mise en scène Jérôme Savary

 Despite a somewhat unsavory start, this develops into a reasonably good cancan

Lijepa Helena - La belle Hélène - Offenbach - Zagreb 2009

 La Belle Helene, with a cancan.  Typically this operetta does not include one.

Godba Dobrova- Polhov Gradec- Can Can

 

A nice one, just published but dating from 2019.   I believe this is from Slovenia.

The performance could have been enhanced considerably with a more imaginative choice of undies, but they do contrast with the petticoats.

Lehár: Víg özvegy: Kan-kan: Ötvös Csilla

Csilla  Ötvös from Hungary earns her stripes as Valencienne in this production of  The Merry Widow from 2010.  The quality shows the age of the video.

Andrée Gine, an alumnus of Monika Knap, just posted this VERY silly picture on her Instagram page.

Marilyn starts at 6:36 (and I'd highly recommend fast forwarding to this point); the payoff is at about 9:35).

Die lustige Witwe - Operette von Franz Lehar

The extravaganza returns in 720p!  This one needs to be watched all the way through.

The great performance at the Seefestspiel Morbisch from 2005 has been re-posted.  It's notable for the number of dancers, the liveliness and quality of the dancing and the hands-on costuming, and the rip-off is right on target.
