 [No title]
There is a temptation to make «Hernani» the text of disquisitions on Romanticism, forgetting that it is a drama of high intrinsic merit, and that the question of positive value is, after all, the essential one.
We find, indeed, that Victor Hugo's drama differs from Racine's; «Hernani» is based upon life in Spain, and not in Greece or Rome, and the period is the sixteenth century, and not the age of Pericles or Tiberius Caesar.
But, they say, this is not all: «Hernani» is romantic because it contains a mingling of the comic and the heroic, inasmuch as there are in it words and notions of common use, where the author might have employed expressions and ideas consecrated and set apart wholly to the service of poetry.

In 1830 Hernani, the first of his typical dramas, was acted at the Théâtre Français.

 Hernani --  Britannica Student Encyclopedia
A poetic tragedy in five acts by Victor Hugo, Hernani played a pivotal role in the famous battle in French literature between classicism and Romanticism.
The first performance of Hugo's Hernani (1830) was one such battle, and Romanticism won a symbolic victory.
Hernani followed Stendhal's call in the pamphlets Racine et Shakespeare (1823, 1825) for theatre that would appeal to a contemporary public, Hugo's own major theoretical statement in the preface to his play Cromwell (1827), and the production in Paris of several...

 Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
The critic remarks further: "The situation in Hernani is strained and dramatically unreal, the sentiment is mawkish, the oratory grandiloquent; but a throbbing life and intensely expressed emotion maintain the interest, though this is a lyric rather than a dramatic one." The same might be said of Ruy Blas.
Hugo's father was an officer in the French army, and most of his early life was spent in Paris with the exception of a year in Madrid where his father's military duties had taken him.
When Hugo was twenty-eight his much fought-over Hernani was produced, playing for 100 nights to audiences almost equally divided between disapproving classicists and adherents of the new romanticism.

Melodrama for melodrama, HERNANI and RUY BLAS, fascinating as they are, seem now to be less easily and less spontaneously devised than ANTONY and TOUR DE NESLE.
Dumas was a born playwright with an instinctive felicity in handling situation; and Hugo, although he was able, by dint of hard work and by sheer cleverness, to make plays that could please in the theater, had far less of the native faculty.
What Dumas and Hugo did was little more than to take the melodrama of the boulevard theaters and to make literature of it,--just as Marlowe had taken the unpretending but popular chronicle-play as the model of his EDWARD II.

On his way to Les Miserables, a young Victor Hugo staged Hernani in 1830 and revolutionized a constipated French theatre scene.
