Beschreibung:
In 1860 the curtain of the Carl-Theater in Vienna rose on the first production of Offenbach's parody of Greek mythology, 'Orphée aux enfers' ('Orpheus in the Underworld'). Sitting among the audience in the stalls was Johann Strauss and enraptured by Offenbach's tuneful score he quickly fashioned a quadrille from some of the most attractive themes.
his arrangement of the Quadrille follows the version which was played at the 2008 Vienna New Years Concerto under the baton of Georges Prêtre in which the Quadrille ends with the sparkling Cancan as a 'Grand Final'.
