Jacques Offenbach wrote his opera The Tales of Hoffmann in 1881, and Act 3 opens with a barcarolle titled "Belle nuit, o nuit d'amour". This has become perhaps the most well known of all barcarolles, and its fame has exceeded that of the opera itself. It is often played as a stand-alone orchestral work or as an arrangement for instrument and piano. The accompaniment track here is in D major and corresponds to the violin/piano version arranged by Franz Drdla.
