(1819 - 1880)
Orpheus in The Underworld operetta
* Korean Symphony Orchestra
Things liven up as the most famous number in this operetta, the Galop Infernal (best known as Can-can), starts (at 7:33 in this video).
Tips: can-can is pronounced [kɑ̃kɑ̃] or roughly 'gong-gong'.
Offenbach did not write it for the can-can (French for chit-chat or gossip) dance. It was adapted so, and made so popular so, at Moulin Rouge in the 1920's.
