  Adolphe Adam Biography - AOL Music
Adolphe Adam was a Romantic composer of opera, ballet and some religious music though the latter does not approach the quality of the former.
Adam successfully composed, conducted and arranged music for the stage with a talent and expertise few can claim; he even conducted "Le brasseur de Preston" for an audience before Tsar Nicholas I in St. Petersburg to whom the opera was dedicated.
Adam's associates extended from the choreographer Gautier to the dancer Taglioni and composition for the ballet came easily to him.
