Laughing during a performance of one of this German-born French composer's works may well be the perfect response...but the appreciation of his genius cannot be complete if the student of Jacques Offenbach fails to see how, underneath his expert comic touch, lingers the talent for operatic greatness. This program features location footage shot across Europe, retracing Offenbach's unique 19th-century life and career. 52 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
