1858. Faced with the threat of closure by the bailiffs of his Bouffes-Parisiens theatre whose coffers had been desperately empty since its opening three years earlier, Jacques Offenbach tried to do everything he could by writing (at last!) a major work aimed at balancing the budget and establishing his reputation as a composer. Encouraged in his approach by Napoleon III’s half-brother the Duke of Morny – who signed the libretto of Monsieur Choufleuri under a pseudonym and was no doubt responsible for the abolition of the limit on the number of characters and choruses in the Bouffes-Parisiens’ productions – Offenbach ventured to write the opera that would become the foundation of his legend: Orpheus aux Enfers. The appointment with eternity took place on 21 October 1858. Hector Crémieux had concocted a high-flying libretto based on an original idea by Ludovic Halévy (to whom Offenbach dedicated his score): an offbeat and anachronistic plunge into ancient Greece featuring a subtle yet extremely caustic background portrayal of the insipid vanity of Second Empire society. The bold move proved a hit and was enthusiastically received audiences – despite the fact that they were the primary target. The composer had taken impressive liberties for his first “no-holds-barred” work. Four acts, seven male and seven female singers, a large chorus and orchestra: the one-act operettas before this “opéra bouffon” – its exact name – appeared mere first drafts compared with this. One might as well come out and state that this was the first great French operetta.
