Eugène Cantiran de Boirie
Jean-Bernard-Eugène Cantiran de Boirie (born October 22, 1785 in Paris , † December 14, 1857 there) was a French melodrama .
Life
Boirie was the son of a premier commis (first employee) in the Paris administration, who at the time of the revolution had put the rest of his fortune into the acquisition of the Théâtre des Jeunes-Artistes . His son, whose education was neglected, but who was endowed with a brilliant imagination, felt called to the dramatic art and performed his first play at the age of twenty. Unable to write down his own dramas, which he had well conceived and combined with a perfect understanding of the scene, he could not do without collaborators. Among the seventeen authors who wanted to work with him, several have achieved great successes in the theater.
Through the death of his father he became the owner of the Théâtre des Jeunes-Artistes, but was robbed of his stage by an imperial decree that closed numerous theaters. He then worked for four years as a director at the Théâtre de l'Impératrice , but lost his job during the restoration , which did not prevent him from remaining an ardent royalist.
In 1822 he became a director at the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin until Jean-Toussaint Merle , who had called him to this place, gave up the management of this house. Boirie, who suffered serious illnesses as a result of abus des plaisirs , has since retired before he died 30 years later after long suffering in a nursing home in Faubourg Saint-Marcel , Paris .
