Boieldieu

The Opéra Comique has stood, in one form or another, on the discreet Place Boieldieu in central Paris since 1783, making it one of the oldest performance sites in the city.

The previous record for a Pissarro painting was set in 2009, when Le Pont Boieldieu Et La Gare D'Orleans Rouen, Soleil sold for £4.3 million.

They would not act thus in France with regard to Boieldieu; independent of all love of art, a sense of propriety would prevent their doing so: but enough of this subject, for it is too vexatious.

His true forebears are not Rameau, Couperin, Boieldieu, Bizet, Saint-Sa�ns, but Baudelaire, Verlaine, Mallarm�; and, beyond his own frontier, Rossetti and Maeterlinck.

But is there among them a Mozart, a Bellini, a Michael Kelly, an Auber, a Boieldieu?
