This article analyzes the work of Jacques Offenbach on the work of Johann Strauss. The author provides a brief description of operetta as a musical genre. The subject of this research is the operetta "The Bat", which has similar characteristics to the "Parisian Life" of Offenbach. It has been established that the basis of the two operettas is the play "Réveillon", as a result of which their similarity in the plot and construction of the sequence of actions is manifested. At the same time, Johann Strauss used such achievements of Jacques Offenbach as the comedy of the plot, the use of national motives, the structure of the composition and the inclusion of comments on current social and political events.
