		Adrienne Lecouvreur (1692-1730) really existed, and she really was an actress at the Comédie Française - the most famous of her day.
		It is said that she single-handedly revolutionised the acting style of the time by delivering her lines in a manner akin to natural speech, with inflections and dramatic pauses, rather than chant her verses in the way that was customary on stage.
		When Adrienne died, at the age of 38, shortly after this incident, this gave rise to some of the mystery surrounding her demise.

		However appropriate it may seem, inevitable I suppose, it is still a curious coincidence that the French actress Adrienne Lecouvreur (1692-1730) should have become the heroine first of a romantic drama and then of a romantic opera.
		One of the most distinguished of French tragediénnes, Adrienne was the undisputed queen of the Comédie-Française for 13 years, justly acclaimed for the naturalness of her vocal delivery and the unforced pathos of her acting.
		It was suspected for a time that this affair might have brought about Adrienne's death at the early age of 38, poisoned by one of the Count's other mistresses.
