''Giroflé-Girofla'' is an opéra bouffe in three acts of 1874 with music by Charles Lecocq. The French libretto was by Albert Vanloo and Eugène Leterrier.〔Lamb, A.; Gänzl, K. "Charles Lecocq". In: ''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera''. London and New York: Macmillan, 1997.〕 ==Performance history== The opera was first presented at the Théâtre des Fantaisies Parisiennes, Brussels, on 21 March 1874. It opened at the Théâtre de la Renaissance, Paris, on 11 November 1874 with Jeanne Granier in the title role and Jolly returning to his creator's role from Brussels.〔Gänzl, K.; Lamb, A. ''Gänzl's Book of the Musical Theatre.'' The Bodley Head, London, 1988.〕 The first production at the Renaissance ran for over 200 performances up to the following October.〔Noel E & Stoullig E. ''Les Annales du Théâtre et de la Musique, 1er édition, 1875.'' G Charpentier et Cie, Paris, 1876.〕 The Brussels company took ''Giroflé-Girofla'' to London where it had its first performance on 6 June 1874; an English version was premiered in London on 3 October 1874.〔 Its popularity soon spread to Berlin in 1874, then Sydney, Buenos Aires, Prague, Vienna, Budapest and New York in 1875.〔Loewenberg A. ''Annals of Opera.'' London: John Calder, 1978.〕 Traubner states that ''Giroflé-Girofla'' "marked a sudden return to pure nonsense... Lecocq’s fertile invention (particularly in the ensembles) was formidable".〔Traubner, Richard. ''Operetta, a theatrical history.''
