Madam T

Synopsis:
an interesting and sometimes gripping spectacle, which mingles spoken and sung scenes with musical numbers. Impressively, it pulls off the complex conceit of having the central characters - the titular brothel-keeper and her lover - played by two sets of performers: actors playing their physical selves, and opera singers conveying their emotions and inner thoughts.
Karen Fricker, the Guardian

Notes:
based on Guy de Maupassant's story the House of Madame Tellier
