En 1855, le compositeur Jacques Offenbach engage aux Bouffes-Parisiens, la salle de spectacles qu'il vient d'ouvrir, une chanteuse inconnue de 22 ans, Hortense Schneider, pour son opérette en un acte basée sur une légende bretonne, Le Violoneux. Elle séduit alors le Tout-Paris. Jacques Offenbach lui-même est loin de rester insensible à son charme.
