Contents
The original text
Originally written by Jacques Félix Beudin and Prosper Goubaux, using the pseudonym Dinaux, and then adapted by Victor Ducange. Described initially as a "Mélodrame en trois journées", in later publications as .
It was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, on 19 June 1827,with Frédérick Lemaître in the lead. Music by Alexandre Piccini, divertissement by Corally and décor by Lefebvre. Published in Paris by Barba in 1827. The play became quite a success.
Translations and adaptations
Translated into Dutch as Dertig Jaren, of Het Leven van een Dobbelaar. Apparently, according to documents in the arcchival collection "Stukken betreffende leden van de families Vitringa en Van Delden" it was copied from the first performance by A.J. van Delden Stevenz and his text is subtitled "Melodrama in drie tijdperken". However the first published Dutch translation, as Dertig Jaren, of Het Leven van een Dobbelaar, is credited to Bernard Antoine Fallée, subtitled a "tooneelspel, dat in drie dagen afspeelt" and published in Amsterdam by J.C. van Kesteren, 1828.
