Peter Hawker in Paris - 28 July, 1841, at night
from Journal entry, 28 July 1841, page 211:
Dined at Café Riche; then went to the opera of ‘Le Serment,’ in which Dorus Gras was splendid; and saw the ballet of ‘Le Diable Amoureux,’' which was the only ballet I ever enjoyed in my life. It was in three acts, and on a plot that made it not only interesting, but most exciting, and nothing could be more magnificent.
