 In 1791 De Jaure (Jean-Claude Bédéno Dejaure, 1761-1790) wrote ''[[Lodoiska]]'', a French prose comedy in three acts, set to music by Rodolphe Kreutzer (1766-1831), which was performed and published in Paris, in August of 1791.
-In 1794 John Philip Kemble produced an English version of the opera, based on a play seen in Paris, which he called ''[[Lodoiska]]'', referred to as "an opera in three acts" in most published versions and sources. (Though the second edition has the title as: ''[[Songs in Lodoiska]]'',  a musical romance"). The music was composed, and selected from Cherubini, Kreutzer, and Andreozzi, by Mr. Storace. By his own admission based on the French libretto of  De Jaure, rather than the Cherubini opera. Perfomed, for the first time by His Majesty's Servants, at the Theatre Royal, Drury-Lane, on Monday, June 9th 1794. Printed by G. G. and J. Robinson in 1794.(The Kemble English version was first performed in New York on 4 December 1826.)

 In 1796 Simon Mayr also composed a three act opera he called ''La Lodoiska'', with an Italian libretto by Francesco Gonella De Ferrari. It opened La Fenice in Venice on 26 January 1796. He later revised it and turned it into a two act version, which played at La Scala on 26 December 1799.
 in 1796 a [[Dutch]] translation of the De Jaure version, by Bartholomeus Ruloffs, was performed at the Nationaalen Stads Schouwburg in Amesterdam and published by Helders and Mars in the same year.
