L'Étoile de Séville (The Star of Seville) is a grand opera in four acts composed by Michael William Balfe to a libretto by Hippolyte Lucas based on Andrés de Claramonte's 1623 play La Estrella de Sevilla.[1] It premiered at the Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique in Paris on 17 December 1845 with Rosine Stoltz in the title role.

Notes
- ^ Casaglia also credits Léon Pillet for the libretto, but only Lucas is given authorship in the printed libretto. Lucas does thank Pillet for "benevolent guidance and experienced care" on p. 3. Pillet was the director of the Paris Opera at the time.
