Description: Frankfurt: Peter Lang, 2003. 3631398662. "Louis Veron became director of the Academie Royale de Musique in 1831 and managed it "a ses risques, perils et fortune". It had been pooly managed in the Restoration period with too rapid a turnover of directors, much waste and many abuses. With great determination and flair, Veron immediately initiated substantial changes in order to cut costs and raise receipts. The great success of Robert le Diable, both artistically and financially, was pivotal to his own success and he did indeed make a fortune. In doing so..he fell out with all the State authorities.."
