Description Director Tessa Bremner has relocated the Parisian band of artists and students to Melbourne at the end of World War II, and included subtle visual references and some slight rewriting of the English libretto. The performance, cabaret style and in the round, is aided by surprisingly warm acoustics in the arts centre, which otherwise resembles a barn more than a theatre.
