Robinson Crusoé

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robinson Crusoé is an opéra comique, or operetta, by Jacques Offenbach.

The French libretto was written by Eugène Cormon and Hector-Jonathan Crémieux, which in turn was adapted from the novel Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, though the work owes more to British pantomime than the book itself.

It was first performed at the Opéra-Comique, Salle Favart on 23 November 1867.
