A scene from If i were King (an opéra-comique in three acts) created by Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) and performed at the St. James's Theatre, London, in 1903.
This opera-comique was written by the French composer Adolphe Adam while he was working as a journalist, with the libretto written by Adolphe d’Ennery and Jules Bresil. It is seen as possibly Adam’s finest work, although less popular than some of his others, and was first staged at Paris’ Theatre Lyrique in September 1852.
