This article considers the implications of the references to Jacques Offenbach’s relatives by marriage that appear in the libretto of his opéra-comique Pépito, which premiered at the Théâtre des Variétés on 28 October 1853. These references lead to a detailed consideration of these relatives, the Spanish Alcains and the Anglo-French Mitchells, and to a consideration of their and, by extension, Offenbach’s relationship to Spain and to a specific episode in Spanish history, the First Carlist War (1833-1840), a relationship which has been misunderstood by his biographers.
