History
It was first performed at the Théâtre des Bouffes Parisiens in Paris on 29 December 1880. It was very popular and 1,000 performances were given in just five years. It was revived at the Bouffes Parisiens in 1883 and 1889 and produced at other Paris theatres up until the 1930s and again in 1944; a film was made in 1935 with Germaine Roger, Lucien Baroux, Lestelly and Dranem. It was translated into English and staged at Abbey's Park Theatre in New York City on 5 May 1881, and in Brighton, England on 19 September the same year. The Universal (Decca) Studios recording made in 1956 in Antony, France, conducted by Robert Benedetti, is available on CD.
