Le Diable amoureux (ballet)
Le Diable amoureux is a ballet-pantomime in three acts and eight scenes, originally choreographed by Joseph Mazilier to the music of Napoléon Henri Reber and François Benoist. The libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges is based on Jacques Cazotte's 1772 occult romance The Devil in Love. The work was first presented by the Ballet of the Royal Academy of Music in Paris on 23 September 1840, with Pauline Leroux, Mazilier, and Louise Fitz-James.
