Dobin incorporates the instruments specified by Pepusch in the fully scored Overture adding instruments that were pro forma in the baroque orchestra and fleshing out the choral numbers and creating dances, duets, trios, as well as the preludes and postludes to the airs.with Jonathan Dobin’s New Performing Edition freely based on the first printed edition of 1729

Written in the mid-1940s, Giraudoux’s classic play was considered ahead of it’s time. With great wit and poignancy, Madwoman of Chaillot addresss subjects that are still topical today, such as greed in business, political corruption, and the frauds and crimes commited in the pursuit of profit. The play is filled with eccentric characters, each with a symbolic meaning, with truth spoken from the mouths of individuals who would seem the least credible.
