Laughs, romance, and high-spirited mischief in a sparkling street‑level farce.
In this comic opera, a starry‑eyed pair of beggars‑turned‑singers, Piquillo and La Perichole, chase a meal and a dream in bustling Lima.

- A lively blend of street theater and palace intrigue set to Offenbach’s music
- Comic capers, mistaken identities, and a romance tested by poverty and pluck
- Memorable choruses, crowd scenes, and bustling ensembles that keep the tempo light and bright
- A finale that pairs warmth with wit, wrapping the tale in charm and merriment
