Erminie
''Erminie'' is a comic opera in two acts composed by Edward Jakobowski with a libretto by Claxson Bellamy and Harry Paulton, based loosely on Charles Selby's 1834 melodrama, ''Robert Macaire''. The piece first played in Birmingham, England, and then in London in 1885, and enjoyed unusual international success that endured well into the twentieth century.
==Performance history==
''Erminie'' opened at the Grand Theatre, Birmingham, England, on 26 October 1885. It transferred to the Comedy Theatre in London, then under the management of Violet Melnotte, opening on 9 November 1885 and playing for a total original run of 154 performances.〔Stone, David. (''Violet Melnotte (1855–1935)'' ), Who Was Who in the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, Boise State University, accessed 25 April 2014〕 It starred Florence St. John who, being pregnant, ceded the role to a young Marie Tempest in December; Melnotte took the role of Cerise. On 18 February 1886, the piece moved to the Gaiety Theatre, London, and by the end of 1885 another cast had begun touring the piece in the British provinces.〔Adams, William Davenport. ("Erminie" ), ''A dictionary of the drama'', vol. 1, p. 465, Chatto & Windus, 1904〕 It soon toured throughout the world, reaching Australia by 1889.〔(Information about an Australian 1889 production of ''Erminie'' )〕
The Broadway, New York production was extraordinarily successful, opening at the Casino Theatre on 10 May 1886 and running for 571 performances.〔(IBDB entry for the original New York run ). The number of performances is often erroneously stated to be much higher.〕 It starred Pauline Hall as the title character and Francis Wilson as Cadeaux. DeWolf Hopper and Sylvia Gerrish later joined the cast. ''Erminie'' enjoyed many UK, US and foreign productions and was revived on Broadway in 1893, 1899, 1903 and in 1921 with Wilson and Hopper again assuming their 1886 roles.〔〔(Information about a number of productions of ''Erminie'' ), New York Public Library〕
Amateur productions were also mounted between 1895 and 1921.〔Bond, Ian. ("Rarely Performed Shows: ''Ermine''" ), St David's Players, Exeter, England, accessed April 25, 2014〕 ''Erminie'' was performed as a staged concert production in July 2008 by the Lyric Theatre of San Jose in Mountain View, California.〔Kenig, Marc and Neil Midkiff.
