Varney’s “Les Mousquetaires au Couvent”
Louise
Swashbuckling adventure meets convent chaos in Louis Varney’s lively operetta, Les Mousquetaires au Couvent!
In 17th-century France, the dashing musketeer Gontran has a slight problem—he’s madly in love with Marie, a spirited young woman who just so happens to be locked away in a convent. Determined to reunite with his beloved, he teams up with his mischievous comrade Brissac and an opportunistic abbot to stage a daring (and utterly ridiculous) rescue. Their master plan? Disguise themselves as monks, sneak into the convent, and charm their way through.
But things don’t go quite as planned. Between drunken sermons, unexpected romance, and nuns who are far from naive, their scheme spirals into a series of uproarious misadventures. Just when it seems they’ve landed themselves in serious trouble, fate takes a turn—as their antics accidentally prevent an assassination plot against Cardinal Richelieu, turning them from fugitives into unlikely heroes.
With its sparkling melodies, rapid-fire wit, and a touch of irreverence, Les Mousquetaires au Couvent has delighted audiences since its 1880 Parisian premiere. Now, L’Opéra Comique de Washington brings this hidden gem to the Maison Française at the Embassy of France, performed in our signature concert-style format. Our past embassy productions have sold out—don’t wait to secure your seats!

The Sisters
The Sisters Workshop
The poet Amy Lowell, plagued with self-doubt at her work, ponders the difficulties of being a female poet. She imagines herself going back to meet three of her predecessors: Sappho, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Emily Dickinson. She falls in love with Sappho’s uninhibited passion, chafes against Mrs. Browning’s Victorian sensibilities, and keeps pace with Emily’s lightning-fast wit. She tries to bring them all into the same dream-space to ponder whether she could really measure up to any of them; however, Emily remains stuck in her own doubts measuring herself against Mrs. Browning. The other poets pull her from her reverie, and all four come together in the recognition that they are one continued line of the same creative family. Amy bids her visions a fond, grateful farewell as she returns to her work, her poetic inspiration renewed.
Families and children are warmly welcome to join in the magic, with special activity booklets available for younger audience members!
