A Comic opera created by Offenbach in his late period lt; Pomme d'Apigt;, The original work premiered at the Renaissance Theatre in Paris in 1873. The adapted 'Pomme d'Api' cleverly combines an open immersive stage with a 'play in play' plot, telling the story of the opening night of the Paris' Rhyme Opera House '.

We redesigned the dialogue, stage, and even created new stories. In order to connect 'in the play' and 'out of the play', we also selected some singing passages from the same period of Offenbach's works to join them. The plot setting of 'drama in the play' is gripping, and in the arrangement, different musical styles and expressive colors are used to make the level of the play clearer. In the play, the orchestra rehearses for the opening ceremony of the "Xuan Yun Opera House"; Outside the theater, three opera performers exchanged their thoughts with piano accompaniment in the audience hall.
