He was one of the most influential composers of popular music in Europe in the 19th century, and many of his works remain in the repertory.
Offenbach was born in Cologne, Germany and was the son of Isaac Juda Eberst, a cantor, bookbinder, music teacher and composer. His father was living at a time when the Napoleonic edict required that Jews had to take inheritable family names. An itinerant violinist, he adopted the name Offenbach since he was already known to his audiences as a native of Offenbach am Main called "der Offenbacher". His son received the name "Jakob Offenbach" at birth, though he changed it to Jacques when he settled in France.
Offenbach moved to Paris in 1833 to study the cello. He found employment playing cello in the orchestra of the Opéra Comique, and wrote many pieces for the instrument. In 1844, he converted to Catholicism and married Herminie de Alcain. He returned to Germany with his wife and daughter in 1848 to avoid revolutionary violence in France, but returned a year later to become the musician most closely associated with the reign of Louis Napoleon (III). In 1850 he became conductor of the Theatre Français, but in 1855 rented his own theatre, the Bouffes Parisiens on the Rue de Monsigny, and began a successful career devoted largely to operetta and opéras comiques until his death.
His most popular works are still performed regularly today. His best-known operettas in the English-speaking world are Orpheus in the Underworld, La vie parisienne, La belle Hélène, La Périchole, The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein. Gaîté Parisienne is an often heard ballet score which is a pastiche of Offenbach melodies arranged and garishly orchestrated by Manuel Rosenthal in 1938.
Offenbach's final opera, The Tales of Hoffmann, was more serious than his other works, perhaps reflecting the eternal wish of the clown to be taken seriously. It was still unfinished at his death in 1880, but was completed by his friend Ernest Guiraud and premiered in 1881.
Offenbach is buried in the Cimetière de Montmartre, Paris, France.

Story of my high school final exam
0:05 I wake up
0:12 I eat breakfast and get ready to leave
0:24 I leave and walk to school
0:35 I realize theres final exams today right after I get to the entrance of the school
0:41 I rush to class realizing im late for the test
0:52 nothing on the test makes sense
0:57 I try to think of how to pass
1:05 I try to sneak to my locker to get my phone for answers
1:14 Quickly opening the lock and getting my phone
1:21 I sneak back when teacher not looking
1:33 realizes I only have 10 minutes left and I only did one question
1:43 I copy down answers from my phone as quickly as possible
1:49 30 seconds left
1:55 I finish the test just to realize the teacher was next to me the entire time
2:01 I’m in the principles office
2:05 I get suspended
The end
