Louis Fuzelier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Louis Fuzelier was a French dramatic author who was born in Paris in 1672 and died in the same city on September 19, 1752. He wrote more than 200 plays for the théâtres de la foire (theatres of the fair), alone or in collaboration with Alain-Rene Lesage, Alexis Piron or d'Orneval.

Fuzelier wrote the libretto les Indes galantes, an opéra-ballet with music by Jean-Philippe Rameau. Fuzelier also wrote some works for the Comédie Française and was one of the principal editors of the Mercure de France, from 1721 to 1744.
