Interesting Facts:
Jacques Offenbach (20 June 1819 – 5 October 1880) was a German-born French composer, cellist and impresario of the romantic period. He is remembered for his nearly 100 operettas of the 1850s–1870s and his uncompleted opera The Tales of Hoffmann. He was a powerful influence on later composers of the operetta genre, particularly Johann Strauss, Jr. and Arthur Sullivan. His best-known works were continually revived during the 20th century, and many of his operettas continue to be staged in the 21st.
Offenbach was born Jacob or Jakob Offenbach to a Jewish family, in the German city of Cologne, which was then a part of Prussia.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gaite Parisienne is the romantic dream of a glamorous night in Paris of everyone who has dreamed of that enchanting city. The setting is a highly fashionable, but not very proper, restaurant of the Second Empire, whose customers, while not being the best of citizens, are marvelous company. Their lives revolve around amours, brief but intense; their day begins at nine in the evening and ends only at dawn when the last waltz is danced and the last champagne glass is emptied.
