Le docteur Ox

About the show

In the lethargic town of Quiquendonne, Dr Ox plans to enliven the citizens with a new gas while trying to evade his former fiancée, Princess Prascovia. The experiment intensifies the townspeople’s passions and romantic entanglements; after the gas drives the town toward war, a laboratory explosion restores the old calm, and Ox reunites with Prascovia.
