List of stage works by Eugène Scribe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of known stage works by the playwright and librettist Eugène Scribe. He used many pen-names, and contributed anonymously to various works, and it is not known how many works are omitted from the published lists. Estimates differ considerably of the number of stage works he wrote or co-wrote: the published edition of his known works runs to 76 volumes, but it is inevitably incomplete, because of his practice of writing pseudonymously or anonymously. His total output of stage works is variously reckoned as between 300[1] and nearly 500.[2] They include more than 120 librettos for 48 composers, collaborations in musical and non-musical theatre with more than 60 co-authors, and over 130 stage works written solo.[3] The information below is from the Grand dictionnaire universel du XIXe siècle, edited by Pierre Larousse, and Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians.[3][4] Scribe wrote some novels, which made little impression[5] and are not listed here.
