The Profile

German-born French composer (1819–1880) best known for 19th-century operettas such as Orphée aux Enfers and La Périchole.

Born Jakob (Jakob/Jean) Offenbach in Cologne in 1819; died in 1880 in Paris. Famous for pioneering French operetta and numerous stage works.

The available review praises Jacques Offenbach's La Périchole for its melodic, Parisian character and populist charm. The reviewer finds the music immediately familiar and recommends the Lombard/Crespin/Vanzo recording. Offenbach is framed as a master of catchy operetta melodies worth rediscovery.
