Louis Ganne

Louis-Gaston Ganne (5 April 1862 in Buxières-les-Mines (Allier) – 13/14 July 1923 in Paris) was a conductor and composer of French operas, operettas, ballets, and marches.

Ganne was born in the Auvergne region of France and grew up in Issy-les-Moulineaux, in the suburbs of Paris.

He conducted at the Nouveau Théâtre de la Rue Blanche and at the Folies-Bergère, and later led a concert series at the Monte Carlo Casino.

His most successful light opera is the circus musical Les saltimbanques (The Acrobats), from 1899.
