La Roussotte
1881 French vaudeville-opérette
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Roussotte (The Redhead) is a French vaudeville-opérette in three acts with a prologue. The words were written by Henri Meilhac, Ludovic Halévy, and Albert Millaud, and the music composed by Hervé, Charles Lecocq, and Marius Boullard.[1] It was first performed on 28 January 1881 at the Théâtre des Variétés in Paris with Anna Judic in the title role. Although not quite as successful as Niniche (1878) or Mam'zelle Nitouche (1882), it was given over a hundred times in its first run, and Judic performed it around the world on tour as part of her repertoire.[2]
