Ba-ta-clan to a libretto by Halévy was first performed in Paris at the Bouffes-Parisiens on December 29 1855.<br/><br/>"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."
