La vie parisienne

About the show

After singer Métella rejects them, Parisian dandies Gardefeu and Bobinet decide to pursue more respectable mistresses. Gardefeu takes the place of a Swedish couple’s guide and deceives them about their lodgings so he can court the baroness, while Bobinet stages a party with servants impersonating aristocrats. At a masquerade, Métella reconciles with Gardefeu, and the baron’s anger subsides when his wife intervenes; the company toasts Paris.
