- Charles Nuitter
Charles Nuitter (1828–1899) wrote or co-authored 60 opera libretti and ballet scenarios for Offenbach, Hervé, Guiraud, Delibes, Lalo, Lecocq and others, and translated Verdi's, Wagner's, Weber's, Bellini's and Mozart's libretti for the Paris audience (Wagner and Verdi esteemed highly the quality of his translations.) He gave up his work as a lawyer in order and wholly devoted himself to archiving sources at the
Paris Opera from 1861 and insured that their importance was taken in to account when thePalais Garnier opened in 1875.References
