Jacques Offenbach

Jacques Offenbach (1819–1880) was a German-born French composer and cellist known for nearly 100 light operas created between the 1850s and 1870s, as well as his unfinished opera, The Tales of Hoffmann. His popular works were frequently revived in the 20th century and continue to be performed to this today, with The Tales of Hoffmann remaining a staple in the opera repertoire.
