Jules Adenis
Jules-Adenis de Colombeau (born June 28, 1823 in Paris ; † 1900 there ) was a French journalist, writer and librettist .
Life
Adenis successfully graduated from the Collège royal de Bourbon and subsequently got a job at the Compagnie de Saint-Gobain . At that time he was already working for various newspapers and magazines. He also tried his hand at the librettist and was able to record one of his greatest successes with “The Girl from Perth” (La jolie fille de Perth).
Through his work at the theater, Adenis soon made the acquaintance of the Société des auteurs et compositeurs (SACD), an early form of collecting society , of which he was later secretary for a few years.
His two sons, Eugène (1854–1923) and Édouard (1867–1952), were also writers and were successful ala librettists.
