After he finished his studies in law he set up a law practice.[citation needed] He is mostly known for his literary production (novels, theatre plays and opera libretti) under the pseudonym "Alexandre Beaumont". With the help of Charles Nuitter, he translated into French the libretto by Francesco Maria Piave and Andrea Maffei for the presentation of Macbeth by Giuseppe Verdi at the Théâtre-Lyrique in Paris in 1865[1] and that of La Flûte enchantée for the Paris production at the Théâtre-Lyrique (1865).[2]
