Léon-Lévy Brunswick
Léon Lévy Brunswick , actually Léon Lévy , pseudonym Léon Lhérie (* 20th April 1805 in Paris ; † 29. July 1859 in Le Havre ) was a French playwright , dramatist and librettist .
Life
Brunswick started out as a journalist before turning to the theater. He wrote some stage pieces with Théophile Marion Dumersan , Jean-François Bayard , Émile Vanderburch and Arthur de Beauplan. His most important partner, however, was Adolphe de Leuven , with whom he wrote libretti especially for Adolphe Adam , of which Le brasseur de Preston , Le Roi d'Yvetot , but especially Der Postillon von Lonjumeau became famous.
The libretto to Le brasseur de Preston served Johann Nestroy as a template for his farce The Dyer and his twin brother .
