About the Piece
Jacques Offenbach’s Can-Can—properly the Galop Infernal—comes from his satirical operetta Orpheus in the Underworld (premiered 1858, revised 1874). In a brisk 2/4, it races forward with repeated figures and a bright, instantly recognisable melody that became a symbol of Parisian nightlife and cabaret. Over time, the piece has appeared everywhere from stage revues to cartoons and adverts, where its driving rhythm signals celebration, humour, and high energy. Its catchy themes and sparkling pace have made it one of the most widely recognised tunes in classical music.
