When the Great Mogul appoints his dog Barkouf governor of Lahore, Maïma, Barkouf’s former mistress, becomes his translator. She turns his barks into decrees granting the people’s requests and thwarting the corrupt vizier Bababeck. Barkouf dies in battle, and Saëb succeeds him as governor.
A one-act French opéra comique by Georges Bizet with libretto by Henry Boisseaux. The surviving music is in piano-score form; an orchestration of the score was performed in 2012.
