Reviews

'At long last someone has written a brand new Offenbach book - in English. And what's even better, it's a great book full of historical facts mostly overlooked (or ignored) by the English language operetta world ... Laurence Senelick paints a much more 'gritty' and 'sexually charged' picture of the genre and how it started in Paris and Vienna in the 1850s, asking what made operetta so revolutionary - and what made Offenbach so incredibly successful.'
