Joseph Méry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Méry. Joseph Méry (21 January 1797 - 17 June 1866) was a French writer. Méry was born on 21 January 1797 in Marseille, in Southern France. An ardent romanticist, he collaborated with Auguste Barthélemy in many of his satires and wrote a great number of stories, now forgotten. Nowadays he is perhaps best remembered as the co-librettist of the original version in French of Verdi's Don Carlos, which premiered in Paris in March 1867.
