Today, manning the coal front, he and his fellows are among the most important industrial workers of war-time Britain.

'Though Offenbach had passionately wished to live to hear the premier of the opera he loved beyond all the others he had written, he was already dead when The Tales of Hoffmann was introduced to a Paris audience in February 1881. He had a posthumous reward, however, for it is mainly owing to the success and popularity of The Tales of Hoffmann that Offenbach's name is still a live one. The ' Barcarolle is one of the most popular of all operatic arias and has been arranged as a solo for almost every instrument in the orchestra.
