Gaîté Parisienne (lit. 'Parisian Gaiety') is a 1938 ballet choreographed by Léonide Massine (1896–1979) to music by Jacques Offenbach (1819–1880) arranged and orchestrated many decades later by Manuel Rosenthal (1904–2003) in collaboration with Jacques Brindejont-Offenbach, the composer's grandson.
