Euge ne Scribe

    24 dicembre 1791 – 20 febbraio 1861

    Eugène Scribe fu un drammaturgo e librettista francese, celebre per aver perfezionato il "ben fatto" (pièce bien faite). Questa struttura divenne un punto fermo del teatro popolare per oltre un secolo, ed egli scrisse anche i libretti di molte delle più riuscite opere grand opéra. La sua opera definì un formato di intrattenimento teatrale popolare che perdurò per generazioni.
