Denisov's 'L'écume des jours' with Lyon, Dutrieux, Richard and Kluge from Stuttgart

Denisov's 'L'écume des jours' is an opera in three acts (14 scenes). The French (also German and Russian) text is by the composer based on the novel of the same title by Boris Vian. Colin lives together with Mouse, the friend of his house. Colin is waiting for his friend, engineer Chick, whom he invited for dinner. His cook Nicolas is reading the recipes from the cook book. Chick arrives, and Colin shows him the “piano-cocktail”, his own invention – the piano that makes cocktails.
