Légende

Scene from the Opera of "Le Val d'Andorre", at the St. James's Theatre, [London], 1850. An opera, in three acts: 'Halevy's music is delicious, full of quaint and elegant melodies, scored with consummate skill, and in the concerted pieces rising at times sublimely in dramatic intensity. It is a great work in every sense-pictorial, dramatic, and musical..."Le Val d'Andorre" was completely successful, thanks to an excellent orchestra, Mdlle. Charton, and above all to Chollet. This admirable singer and comedian was for years the attraction of the Opera Comique in Paris...He is a most consummate comedian, full of finesse, vivacity, and spirit. His vocal powers, albeit not what they have been, for he is a veteran, are still managed with tact and taste. His "Chanson Militaire," in the third act, was earnestly encored. His accent and affectation in the military dandy were inimitable'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
