Jacques Offenbach

ジャック・オッフェンバック（Jacques Offenbach, 1819年6月20日 - 1880年10月5日）は、ドイツに生まれフランスで活躍（1860年に帰化）した作曲家、チェリストである。オペレッタの原型を作り、オペレッタの父と言われ、音楽と喜劇との融合を果たした作曲家である。美しいメロディーを次々と生み出すことから、ロッシーニはオッフェンバックを“シャンゼリゼのモーツァルト”と評した。ジャック・オッフェンバックは父親の出身地（ドイツ・フランクフルト近郊のオッフェンバッハ・アム・マイン）からとったペンネームで、本名はヤーコプ・レヴィ・エーベルスト（Jakob Levy Eberst）。ウィキペディアで詳細を読む
