context_page_description: Le voyage dans la Lune is an 1875 opéra-féerie in four acts and 23 scenes by Jacques Offenbach. Loosely based on the 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne, its French libretto was by Albert Vanloo, Eugène Leterrier and Arnold Mortier. This was another prolific year for the composer, and included also the third version of Geneviève de Brabant, Les Hannetons, La boulangère a des écus, La Créole and a waltz for Tarte à la crême.
  It premiered on 26 October 1875 at the Théâtre de la Gaîté. The production was revived at the Théâtre du Châtelet, on 31 March 1877.
