He is remembered for his nearly 100 <a href="/wiki/Operetta" title="Operetta">operettas</a> of the 1850s to the 1870s, and his uncompleted opera <a href="/wiki/The_Tales_of_Hoffmann" title="The Tales of Hoffmann">The Tales of Hoffmann</a>. He was a powerful influence on later composers of the operetta genre, particularly <a href="/wiki/Franz_von_Supp%C3%A9" title="Franz von Suppé">Franz von Suppé</a>, <a href="/wiki/Johann_Strauss_II" title="Johann Strauss II">Johann Strauss II</a> and <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Sullivan" title="Arthur Sullivan">Arthur Sullivan</a>. His best-known works were continually revived during the 20th century, and many of his operettas continue to be staged in the 21st. The Tales of Hoffmann remains part of the standard opera repertory. Born in <a href="/wiki/Cologne" title="Cologne">Cologne</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Prussia" title="Kingdom of Prussia">Kingdom of Prussia</a>, the son of a synagogue <a href="/wiki/Hazzan" title="Hazzan">cantor</a>, Offenbach showed early musical talent. At the age of 14, he was accepted as a student at the <a href="/wiki/Paris_Conservatoire" class="mw-redirect" title="Paris Conservatoire">Paris Conservatoire</a>; he found academic study unfulfilling and left after a year, but remained in Paris. From 1835 to 1855 he earned his living as a cellist, achieving international fame, and as a conductor. His ambition, however, was to compose comic pieces for the musical theatre. Finding the management of Paris's <a href="/wiki/Op%C3%A9ra-Comique" title="Opéra-Comique">Opéra-Comique</a> company uninterested in staging his works, in 1855 he leased a small theatre in the <a href="/wiki/Champs-%C3%89lys%C3%A9es" title="Champs-Élysées">Champs-Élysées</a>. There, during the next three years, he presented a series of more than two dozen of his own small-scale pieces, many of which became popular. In 1858 Offenbach produced his first full-length operetta, <a href="/wiki/Orpheus_in_the_Underworld" title="Orpheus in the Underworld">Orphée aux enfers</a> ("Orpheus in the Underworld"), with its celebrated <a href="/wiki/Can-can" title="Can-can">can-can</a>; the work was exceptionally well received and has remained his most played. During the 1860s, he produced at least eighteen full-length operettas, as well as more one-act pieces. His works from this period include <a href="/wiki/La_belle_H%C3%A9l%C3%A8ne" title="La belle Hélène">La belle Hélène</a> (1864), <a href="/wiki/La_Vie_parisienne_(operetta)" title="La Vie parisienne (operetta)">La Vie parisienne</a> (1866), <a href="/wiki/La_Grande-Duchesse_de_G%C3%A9rolstein" title="La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein">La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein</a> (1867) and <a href="/wiki/La_P%C3%A9richole" title="La Périchole">La Périchole</a> (1868). The risqué humour (often about sexual intrigue) and mostly gentle satiric barbs in these pieces, together with Offenbach's facility for melody, made them internationally known, and translated versions were successful in Vienna, London, elsewhere in Europe and in the US. Offenbach became associated with the <a href="/wiki/Second_French_Empire" title="Second French Empire">Second French Empire</a> of <a href="/wiki/Napoleon_III" title="Napoleon III">Napoleon III</a>: the emperor and his court were genially satirised in many of Offenbach's operettas, and Napoleon personally granted him French citizenship and the <a href="/wiki/L%C3%A9gion_d%27honneur" class="mw-redirect" title="Légion d'honneur">Légion d'honneur</a>. With the outbreak of the <a href="/wiki/Franco-Prussian_War" title="Franco-Prussian War">Franco-Prussian War</a> in 1870, and the fall of the empire, Offenbach found himself out of favour in Paris because of his imperial connections and his German birth. He remained successful in Vienna, London and New York. He re-established himself in Paris during the 1870s, with revivals of some of his earlier favourites and a series of new works, and undertook a popular US tour. In his last years he strove to finish The Tales of Hoffmann, but died before the premiere of the opera, which has entered the standard repertory in versions completed or edited by other musicians. <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r886046785">.mw-parser-output .toclimit-2 .toclevel-1 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-3 .toclevel-2 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-4 .toclevel-3 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-5 .toclevel-4 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-6 .toclevel-5 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-7 .toclevel-6 ul{display:none}</style><div class="toclimit-3"><meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Life_and_career">Life and career</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Jacques_Offenbach&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Life and career">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_years">Early years</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Jacques_Offenbach&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Early years">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Offenbach-in-1840s.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Drawing of young white man, seated, clean shaven, in 19th century day clothes, with longish but neat dark hair" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Offenbach-in-1840s.jpg/170px-Offenbach-in-1840s.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="221" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Offenbach-in-1840s.jpg/255px-Offenbach-in-1840s.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Offenbach-in-1840s.jpg/340px-Offenbach-in-1840s.jpg 2x" data-file-width="470" data-file-height="612" /></a><figcaption>Offenbach in the 1840s</figcaption></figure> Offenbach was born on 20 June 1819, as Jacob (or Jakob<a href="#cite_note-12">[n 2]</a>) Offenbach to a Jewish family in the German city of <a href="/wiki/Cologne" title="Cologne">Cologne</a>, which was then a part of <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Prussia" title="Kingdom of Prussia">Prussia</a>.<a href="#cite_note-13">[11]</a> His birthplace in the Großer Griechenmarkt was a short distance from the square that is now named after him, the Offenbachplatz.<a href="#cite_note-grove-5">[4]</a> He was the second son and the seventh of ten children of Isaac Juda Offenbach <a href="/wiki/Birth_name#Maiden_and_married_names" title="Birth name">né</a> Eberst (1779–1850) and his wife Marianne <a href="/wiki/Birth_name#Maiden_and_married_names" title="Birth name">née</a> Rindskopf (<abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 1783–1840).<a href="#cite_note-14">[12]</a> Isaac, who came from a musical family, had abandoned his original trade as a bookbinder and earned an itinerant living as a <a href="/wiki/Hazzan" title="Hazzan">cantor</a> in synagogues and playing the violin in cafés.<a href="#cite_note-15">[13]</a> He was generally known as "der Offenbacher", after his native town, <a href="/wiki/Offenbach_am_Main" title="Offenbach am Main">Offenbach am Main</a>, and in 1808 he officially adopted Offenbach as a surname.<a href="#cite_note-17">[n 3]</a> In 1816 he settled in Cologne, where he became established as a teacher, giving lessons in singing, violin, flute, and guitar, and composing both religious and secular music.<a href="#cite_note-g15-9">[8]</a> When Jacob was six years old his father taught him to play the violin; within two years the boy was composing songs and dances, and at the age of nine he took up the cello.<a href="#cite_note-g15-9">[8]</a> As Isaac was by then the permanent cantor of the local synagogue, he could afford to pay for his son to take lessons from the well-known cellist Bernhard Breuer.

His first full-length operetta, <a href="/wiki/Orpheus_in_the_Underworld" title="Orpheus in the Underworld">Orphée aux enfers</a> ("Orpheus in the Underworld"), was presented in October 1858. Offenbach, as usual, spent freely on the production, with scenery by <a href="/wiki/Gustave_Dor%C3%A9" title="Gustave Doré">Gustave Doré</a>, lavish costumes, a cast of twenty principals, and a large chorus and orchestra.<a href="#cite_note-106">[93]</a> As the company was particularly short of money following an abortive season in Berlin, a big success was urgently needed.

He condemned the piece for profanity and irreverence to Roman mythology: the theme was the legend of <a href="/wiki/Orpheus_and_Eurydice" title="Orpheus and Eurydice">Orpheus and Eurydice</a>, although Napoleon III and his government were generally seen as the real targets of its satire.<a href="#cite_note-107">[94]</a> Offenbach and his librettist <a href="/wiki/Hector-Jonathan_Cr%C3%A9mieux" title="Hector-Jonathan Crémieux">Hector Crémieux</a> seized on this free publicity, and joined in a lively public debate in the columns of the Parisian daily newspaper Le Figaro.<a href="#cite_note-g54-108">[95]</a> Janin's indignation made the public agog to see the work, and the box office takings were prodigious. The piece ran for 228 performances, at a time when a run of 100 nights was considered a success.<a href="#cite_note-109">[96]</a> Albert de Lasalle, in his history of the Bouffes-Parisiens (1860), wrote that the piece closed in June 1859 – although it was still performing strongly at the box-office – "because the actors, who could not tire the public, were themselves exhausted".<a href="#cite_note-110">[97]</a> Among those who wanted to see the satire of the emperor was the emperor himself, who commanded a performance in April 1860.<a href="#cite_note-g54-108">[95]</a> Despite many great successes during the rest of Offenbach's career, Orphée aux enfers remained his most popular work. Gammond lists among the reasons for its success, "the sweeping waltzes" reminiscent of Vienna but with a new French flavour, the <a href="/wiki/Patter_song" title="Patter song">patter songs</a>, and "above all else, of course, the <a href="/wiki/Can-can" title="Can-can">can-can</a> which had led a naughty life in low places since the 1830s or thereabouts and now became a polite fashion, as uninhibited as ever".<a href="#cite_note-111">[98]</a> In the 1859 season the Bouffes-Parisiens presented new works by composers including Flotow, Jules Erlanger, <a href="/wiki/Alphonse_Varney" title="Alphonse Varney">Alphonse Varney</a>, Delibes, and Offenbach himself.

Since her early success in his short operas, she had become a leading star of the French musical stage. She now commanded large fees and was notoriously temperamental, but Offenbach was adamant that no other singer could match her as Hélène.<a href="#cite_note-g80-129">[112]</a> Rehearsals for the premiere at the <a href="/wiki/Th%C3%A9%C3%A2tre_des_Vari%C3%A9t%C3%A9s" title="Théâtre des Variétés">Théâtre des Variétés</a> were tempestuous, with Schneider and the principal <a href="/wiki/Mezzo-soprano" title="Mezzo-soprano">mezzo-soprano</a> Léa Silly feuding, the censor fretting about the satire of the imperial court, and the manager of the theatre attempting to rein in Offenbach's extravagance with production expenses.<a href="#cite_note-g80-129">[112]</a> Once again the success of the piece was inadvertently assured by the critic Janin; his scandalised notice was strongly countered by liberal critics and the ensuing publicity again brought the public flocking.<a href="#cite_note-130">[113]</a> <a href="/wiki/Barbe-bleue_(opera)" title="Barbe-bleue (opera)">Barbe-bleue</a> was a success in early 1866 and was quickly reproduced elsewhere.

It needed no inadvertent boost from Janin but was an instant and prolonged success with Parisian audiences, although its very Parisian themes made it less popular abroad. Gammond describes the libretto as "almost worthy of <a href="/wiki/W._S._Gilbert" title="W. S. Gilbert">[W.

He slipped the banned revolutionary anthem <a href="/wiki/La_Marseillaise" title="La Marseillaise">La Marseillaise</a> into the chorus of rebellious gods in Orphée aux enfers, and quoted the aria "Che farò" from Gluck's <a href="/wiki/Orfeo_ed_Euridice" title="Orfeo ed Euridice">Orfeo</a> in the same work; in La belle Hélène he quoted the patriotic trio from Rossini's <a href="/wiki/William_Tell_(opera)" title="William Tell (opera)">William Tell</a> and parodied himself in the ensemble for the kings of Greece, in which the accompaniment quotes the rondeau from Orphée aux enfers.
