Offenbach, Rising Melodic Gestures in Orphée aux Enfers (1858; rev. 1874)
Abstract
Orphée aux Enfers was Jacques Offenbach’s first success with a full-scale operetta and remains for many the quintessential representative of the genre. This essay discusses ascending cadence gestures in the original two-act version (1858) and the expanded, four-act version (1874).
