Adolphe d'Ennery (or Dennery; né Adolphe Philippe; 17 June 1811 – 25 January 1899) was a French playwright and novelist.
Life
Born in Paris, his real surname was Philippe.[citation needed] He obtained his first success in collaboration with Charles Desnoyer in Émile, ou le fils d'un pair de France (1831), a drama which was the first of a series of some two hundred pieces written alone or in collaboration with other dramatists. He died in Paris in 1899.[1]
Works
Among the best of his works is a play about D.W. Griffith as the film Orphans of the Storm.
He wrote the
Auber's operas, Le premier jour de bonheur (1868) and Rêve d'amour (1869).[1] Other opera librettos include La rose de Terone (1840), Si j'étais roi (1852), Le muletier de Tolède (1854) (on which Michael Balfe's The Rose of Castille (1857) was based), and À Clichy (1854) by Adolphe Adam, Massenet's early Don César de Bazan (1872) and Hervé's La nuit aux soufflets (1884) He prepared for the stage Balzac's posthumous comedy Mercadet ou le faiseur, presented at the Théâtre du Gymnase in 1851.[citation needed] Reversing the usual order of procedure, d'Ennery adapted some of his plays to the form of novels.[1]
