After the war, Pascal Bastia continued his career with ups and downs, mostly in the provinces with Mademoiselle Star (1945) or Gardes françaises (Reims, 1962).
This last play was closer to opéra comique, like Georges van Parys's or Maurice Yvain's latest works.
Pascal Bastia was one of the first composers to not orchestrate his own scores, the American way: Ma Femme was orchestrated by André Sablon (elder brother of John), Un joli Monsieur by Mac Curthy, Dix-neuf ans by Jef de Murel and Michel Emer.
A singer-songwriter, his song were interpreted by the greatest: Jean Sablon, Joséphine Baker, Luc Barney.
He wrote the comedy Ce monde n'est pas pour les anges (1950, Théâtre Édouard VII).
