Music of Paris in the year 1900, the time of "Gigi" (1958 movie) This was the Belle Epoque, a prosperous and golden age of luxury, beauty and culture in Paris. Other than opera, Parisians attended nightclubs such as the Moulin Rouge and would also attend cafe-concerts that featured popular music and waltzes. The selections here are from these types of venues, namely the French style operetta. Among some of the familiar melodies which later became a hit in the US in the turn of the century and early 20th century are "The Loveliest Night of the Year" and "Fascination". youtube/watch?v=ll29qGamj9A
