The Jacques Offenbach Society was formed in 1996 with the object of bringing Offenbach's music back into the public awareness.

Offenbach was a prolific composer and wrote around 100 works. These include works for the stage and orchestral pieces. Despite the worldwide popularity of Offenbach's music in his lifetime, only a few of these are in the regular repertoire today. However, the rarer ones are revived occasionally.

2019 Offenbach Bi-Centenary

The Society is celebrating Offenbach's Bi-Centenary by offering its members and friends the opportunity to listen to the first complete recording (instrumental arrangement) of his 1873 operetta Les Braconniers.  For details of how to obtain a copy of the recording and for  details of events to celebrate our composer's 200th birthday, please visit our Bi-Centenary page. 

We are a small international Society and we welcome new enthusiasts to join us in promoting Offenbach's vast repertoire to a wider audience.

Please see our membership page for more details or contact us for more information. Our US Coordinator, Bob Folstein is happy to answer questions on Offenbach or his works and can be contacted by email. We are also on Facebook
