La vie parisienne to a libretto by Meilhac and Halévy was first performed in Paris at the Palais-Royal on October 31 1866. "Offenbach was with Johann Strauss ii one of the two composers of outstanding significance in popular music of the 19th century and the composer of some of the most exhilaratingly gay and tuneful music ever written. Moreover it was through the success of Offenbach's works abroad that operetta became an established international genre producing outstanding national exponents in Strauss Sullivan and Lehár and evolving into the 20th-century musical."
