He studied at the Conservatoire de Paris and came under the influence of Auber, Rossini, Meyerbeer, Donizetti, Halévy, and later Gounod and Offenbach.

He studied piano under Marmontel and composition under Halévy at the Paris Conservatoire.

At the age of six, Halévy might have been seen playing in that Foyer de la danse with which he was to make his readers so familiar, and, when a boy of twelve, he would often, of a Sunday night, on his way back to the Collège Louis le Grand, look in at the Odéon, where he had free admittance, and see the first act of the new play.

The latter having abruptly retired from the collaboration, Halévy was at a loss how to carry out the contract, when on the steps of the theatre he met Henri Meilhac ( 1831 – 1897 ), then comparatively a stranger to him.

A liberal individualist to the last, Halévy died at Sucy-en-Brie on 21 August 1937.

The libretto was written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on a novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée.

While there, he had the opportunity to hear operas by Meyerbeer and Halévy, which imparted a strong influence on him, especially the latter's La Juive.

The prize was awarded jointly to Bizet and Charles Lecocq, a compromise which years later Lecocq criticised on the grounds of the jury's manipulation by Fromental Halévy in favour of Bizet.

Élie Halévy would later write on this situation:

He collaborated with Giacomo Meyerbeer on a number of occasions, and also provided the words for works by Giuseppe Verdi, Vincenzo Bellini, Daniel Auber ( La muette de Portici, Gustave III and others ), Fromental Halévy ( including La Juive, Guido et Ginevra, and Le Juif errant ), François-Adrien Boieldieu, Gaetano Donizetti and Gioachino Rossini ( Le comte Ory ).

* May 7-Ludovic Halévy, lyricist ( b. 1834 )

Ludovic Halévy ( 1 January 1834-7 May 1908 ) was a French author and playwright.

Halévy, who had written the text for Bizet's student opera Le docteur Miracle ( 1856 ), was a cousin of Bizet's wife, Geneviève ; he and Meilhac had a solid reputation as the librettists of many of Jacques Offenbach's operettas.

Halévy wrote the libretto for one of the pieces in the opening programme, but the most popular work of the evening had words by Moinaux.

Prior to Massenet's work, Halévy ( Manon Lescaut, ballet, 1830 ) and Auber ( Manon Lescaut, opéra comique, 1856 ) had used the subject for musical stage works.

After Georges Bizet's death, his widow Geneviève ( daughter of the composer Fromental Halévy ) had an alliance with Delaborde ; indeed there exists the application for registration of a marriage between them, which was never carried out.

Meilhac had a ready imagination, a rich and whimsical fancy ; Halévy had taste, refinement and pathos of a certain kind.

In lectures of 1929, revised in 1936 ( published in 1938 ; The Era of Tyrannies ), Halévy argued that the world war had increased national control over individual activities and opened the way for de facto socialism.
