Because it can be performed by a small ensemble, it is a popular work that is frequently staged in Japan. It depicts, through witty music, the commotion that ensues when Catherine (nicknamed “Little Apple”), a housemaid sent to work for the wealthy Lavastan family, and Gustave—Lavastan’s nephew—find themselves entangled in a romantic scandal, as it turns out they were once lovers. The other piece, *On the Volcano*, is a love story between an actress and a soldier set in Dublin during the Napoleonic era. A highlight is the melancholic song sung by the father, who, though he falls in love at first sight with the young actress, steps aside to allow his son’s romance to flourish. Though brief, this is another quintessentially Offenbachian, witty work, enriched by sophisticated music. The Cologne Academy’s rustic sound beautifully complements the work.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CPO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525290352929,"sku":"4589538750213","price":2790.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538750213.jpg?v=1789730683","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538750213","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
