"L'Aiglon" by Edmond Rostand is a play in six acts written in 1900. The drama centers on Napoleon II, the son of Emperor Napoleon I, whose nickname "the Eaglet" gives the play its title. Created specifically for the legendary Sarah Bernhardt, who premiered the role in Paris, the play explores the life of this young heir to an empire. The work became one of Bernhardt's signature performances and later inspired an opera
adaptation by Arthur Honegger and Jacques Ibert. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
