There is one of the famous theatres in Passage Choiseul, next to the Choiseul Déco Sté furniture store. The composer Jacques Offenbach founded in 1855 Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens for the performance of operetta. In 1870 the popularity of operetta begun to decline, and the repertoire of the theatre was expanded to include comedies. Offenbach was a conductor of the "Théâtre Français" but wanted to start a new independent career as a creator of what he described as a "new and original" genre of musical performance. He held the first performances in the summer of 1855 at the small Salle Lacaze theatre with a capacity of only 300 spectators. It was a one-act musical buffoonery about two "blind" Parisian beggars. This new musical art soon acquired an international reputation, and Offenbach's admirers soon included Tolstoy and Thackeray. Satirical sketches that only included a few musical numbers become regular performances in the summer of 1855. The season was so successful that Offenbach was able to resign his position as conductor of the Théâtre Français. Offenbach's most famous music, which is undoubtedly has been heard by everyone, was written for the operetta Orpheus in Hell, an excerpt from which can be heard here.
