Le Nid d'Amour is a "ballet anacréontique" by an unknown author, performed in Cape Town in 1810, in a Dutch and an French version.

The original text

The original text used by Riaux is obscure, since the Cape Town performance pre-dates the Belgian version by Hus.

Translations and adaptations

Le Nid d’Amours, ou Les Amours Vengés is a "ballet anacréontique" by Eugène Hus. First performed Théâtre Royal, Bruxelles, 9 March 1818. Published in Brussels by L. Poublon, 1818.

Le Nid d'Amour, an opéra comique in one act by Jean Baptiste Edouard Montaubry opened in Paris in 1885.
