Yes!

Maurice Yvain's operettas were a great success in the 1920s. The fantasy of swing music, the catchy songs and the perfectly oiled rhythms were on everyone's lips in "Roaring Twenties" Paris. The success of these comedies with their biting humor is also due to the fantastic texts by Albert Willemetz, who is considered one of the fathers of the modern 20th-century operetta. The numbers by Yvain and Willemetz hummed through the streets and charmed everyone who heard them - and they still do a century later! Les Frivolités Parisiennes have set themselves the task of breathing new life into this music, which is as young as ever. Yes! premiered on January 26, 1928 at the Théâtre des Capucines and was an immediate success: the story of a complicated marriage that shuttles between Le Touquet and London would remain on the repertoire for years to come. The version presented here by Les Frivolités Parisiennes comes as close as possible to the spirit of the work's premiere and contains all available musical material. With the exceptional collaboration of Clément Rochefort as narrator.
