La comédie lyrique Fortunio est l'adaptation en musique du Chandelier d'Alfred de Musset. Cette oeuvre en quatre actes et cinq tableaux mélange le lyrisme de l'opéra avec l'humour de la comédie et offre une satire de la société de l'époque. La musique d'André Messager et les paroles de Gaston Arman de Caillavet font de Fortunio une oeuvre majeure du répertoire français.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
