Offenbach's operas were a significant force for cultural change,
both in his own time and in the decades to follow. In this book,
Laurence Senelick demonstrates the ways in which this musical
phenomenon took hold globally, with Offenbach's work offering an
alternative, irreverent, sexualized view of life which audiences
found liberating, both personally and socially. In the theatre, the
composer also inspired cutting-edge innovations in stagecraft and
design, and in this book, he is recognized as a major cultural
influence, with an extensive impact on the spheres of literature,
art, film, and even politics. Senelick argues that Offenbach's
importance spread far beyond France, and that his provocative and
entertaining works, often seen as being more style than substance,
influenced numerous key artists, writers, and thinkers, and made a
major contribution to the development of modern society.
