Biographical/historical: Esmeralda, a beautiful and good-hearted gypsy girl, was created by Victor Hugo as the charismatic central figure of his novel Notre-Dame de Paris (1831), known in English as The hunchback of Notre Dame. The story was soon adapted for the stage; Hugo himself wrote the libretto for Louise Bertin's opera La Esmeralda (1836), as well as a play titled La Esmeralda. Jules Perrot's ballet adaptation, also titled La Esmeralda, was staged at Her Majesty's Theatre in London in 1844.
Biographical/historical: According to ballet historian Ivor Guest, Le foire de Beaucaire was a two-act comic ballet presented at the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, Paris, in Sept. 1841, with a scenario by the Cogniard brothers [Hippolyte and Théodore] and music arranged by Auguste Pilati. Mlle. Féli, a member of the cast, had previously performed in the same theatre's production of Les jours gras aux enfers, in Feb. 1841.
Biographical/historical: J. Bérot was a French draughtsman, lithographer, and photographer active in the mid-nineteenth century.
