Alfred Deléhelle
Jean-Charles-Alfred Deléhelle (born January 12, 1826 in Paris , † 1893 ) was a French composer.
Life
Alfred Deléhelle studied at the Paris Conservatory , where he was a student of Hippolyte Colet and Adolphe Adam . In 1851 he won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome with the cantata Le Prisonnier .
After the stay at the Villa Medici in Rome and a trip to Naples and several German cities, Deléhelle settled down as a composer in Paris. In 1859 his operetta L'Ile d'Amour, based on a libretto by Camille du Locle, premiered at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens . She received critical acclaim and was successful with the audience, although she had to assert herself against the competition of a simultaneously performed operetta by Léo Delibes .
Only two other works by Deléhelle have survived: the comic opera Monsieur Policinelle , which premiered at the Athénée in 1873 , and the comic opera Don Spavento based on a libretto by Léon Morand and Gustave Wattier , which premiered in January 1883 in the Koninklijke Schouwburg in The Hague took place.
