The best-known and much-recorded {{lang|fr|Orphée aux enfers}} overture<ref name=g69/> is not by Offenbach, and is not part of either the 1858 or the 1874 scores.

Fifteen years or so after Offenbach's death the galop from Act 2 (or Act 4 in the 1874 version) became one of the world's most famous pieces of music,<ref name=simeone/> when the [[Moulin Rouge]] and the [[Folies Bergère]] adopted it as the regular music for their [[can-can]]. Keck has commented that the original "infernal galop" was a considerably more spontaneous and riotous affair than the {{lang|fr|[[fin de siècle]]}} can-can (Keck likens the original to a modern [[rave]]) but the tune is now inseparable in the public mind from high-kicking female can-can dancers.<ref name=simeone/>
