Jules Adenis
Jules-Adenis de Colombeau (28 June 1823 – 1900) was a 19th-century French opera librettist, playwright, and journalist.
Adenis was born in Paris and studied at the Collège royal de Bourbon (now the Lycée Condorcet). Colombeau was initially employed by the Compagnie de Saint-Gobain. At this time he was already working for various newspapers and magazines.
Some of Colombeau's works include Un Postillon en gage (1856) Sylvie (1864), and La Grand'tante (1867).[1]
Both of Colombeau's sons, Eugène (1854–1923) and Édouard (1867–1952) became writers and librettists.
