Its works, if they are not innovative, are well in phase with the tastes of times and perfectly readable for the spectator. Being pressed on an interpreter of talent, Emilie Bigottini, it creates parts full with imagination and humor, but also with the melodramas which will be a great success until the supremacy of the romantic Ballet towards 1830.
