Named cast includes J. Girard, Gélabert, Lepers, Luco, Simon Max, Maugé, Octave, and Speck.
Binding slightly worn, rubbed, and bumped. Occasional light foxing; some signatures split; light browning to edges of title; horizontal tear to pp. 35-38 with tape repairs; minor paper loss to blank upper margin of pp. 63/64 & 149/150, not affecting music. Madame Favart, to a libretto by Chivot and Duru, was first performed at the Folies-Dramatiques on 28 December 1878.
"[Offenbach] was, with Johann Strauss (ii), one of the two composers of outstanding significance in popular music of the 19th century and the composer of some of the most exhilaratingly gay and tuneful music ever written ... Moreover, it was through the success of Offenbach's works abroad that operetta became an established international genre, producing outstanding national exponents in Strauss, Sullivan and Lehár and evolving into the 20th-century musical."
