La Danse, ou Les dieux de l'Opéra. Poème - Berchoux, Joseph (Paris Giguet Michaud, 1845)
Epic poem inspired by rivalry between two leading dancers of the Paris Opéra, August Vestris and Louis Duport.
There are two eds. with the 1806 Paris imprint of Giguet et Michaud. The text of the presumed reprint ed. is reset in slightly smaller type, and the headline on p. 19 reads 'Caant I.' instead of 'Chant I.'
