Offenbach and librettists Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halevy set the opening scene in the main square of Lima, outside The Three Cousins tavern.

I have seen a good deal of Bourget, and as I have breakfasted with Copp�e and twice dined in company with Meilhac, Sarcey, Albert Wolff, Goncourt, Ganderax, Blowitz, etc., you will judge that I am pretty well saturated and ought to have the last word about ces gens-ci.

He proposed to Meilhac the task rejected by Lambert Thiboust, and the proposal was immediately accepted.

Meilhac and Hal�vy will be found at their best in light sketches of Parisian life, Les Sonnettes, Le Roi Candaule, Madame attend Monsieur, Toto chez Tata.
