  Alexandre Charles Lecocq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexandre Charles Lecocq (June 3, 1832 – October 24, 1918) was a French musical composer born in Paris.
After 1873 Lecocq produced a large number of comic operas, though he never equalled his early triumph in La fille de Madame Angot.
In 1899 a ballet by Lecocq, entitled Le Cygne, was staged at the Opéra Comique, Paris; and in 1903 Yetta was produced at Brussels.

Though he was born infirmed, Lecocq learned to use crutches and turned to music at an early age.
Lecocq left the Conservatoire early to help his family with expenses by giving piano lessons and accompanying Cellarius' dance classes.
