| − | Called "A Dramatic Entertainment", it is in fact in a [[burlesque]] based on ''[[La Somnambule, ou L'arrivée d'un Nouveau Seigneur]]'', a scenario for a ballet-pantomime by Eugène Scribe and Jean-Pierre Aumer, music composed by Ferdinand Hérold. Produced in 1827 and quite popular in Paris, the unpublished Scribe work inspired many more works, including Vincenzo Bellini's well-known Italian opera ''[[La Sonnambula|La Sonnambula, or The Sleepwalker]]''.
