Henri Meilhac was a French librettist who was well-known for his collaborations with Ludovic Halevy. Some of their librettos are firm favorites in the operatic canon, including Massenet's Manon, Offenbach's La belle Helene, and perhaps the most famous opera of all time: Bizet's Carmen.
Meilhac was also a prolific playwright, and often wrote vaudeville comedies.
