Le Chandelier

Le Chandelier is an 1835 play in three acts by French dramatist Alfred de Musset.[1]
The play was first published in 1835 in Delaunay as Fortunio and Allan as Jacqueline. In October 1850, the interior minister Léon Faucher had the work banned, a decision confirmed in subsequent seasons.[3]
Jacques Offenbach, who wrote incidental music for the Comédie-Française production, made a sequel entitled La chanson de Fortunio. An opera of 1907 by André Messager, Fortunio, was based closely on the play.
