[edit] Life

Hervé served an organist and a stage vocalist, before he became Kapellmeister of the Théâtre du Palais Royal in 1851. He was a founder of a new era of French operettas. Through his "Folies concertantes", a theater stage he took over in 1854 and for which he wrote many works, he became the forerunner of the "Bouffes-Parisiennes" of Jacques Offenbach and the flowering of parody music that followed them both.
