		While it was considered that Merrick may have suffered from either type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF 1) or Proteus Syndrome, the DNA evidence did not conclusively prove that Merrick had either on its own or the two together.
		Merrick, born in 1862 in the English city of Leicester, showed signs of deformity at the early age of five.

		In it he explores the life of Joseph Merrick, made famous in the film ‘The Elephant Man’ but Petitgirard and Nonn say they have based their opera more on the facts of Merrick’s life whereas David Lynch’s film was based on the memoirs of Dr. Treves, the doctor who supposedly rescues Merrick.
		Merrick’s confusion over the dichotomy between his own appearance and his interior feelings mean he rejects Mary’s feelings for him.
		Merrick sings far too little in the first half of the opera so that it is only very late on that we come to know him.

	PETITGIRARD: Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man recommended cd collection, cd review and cd details.
		Written in 1998, Petitgirard's opera differs from David Lynch's cult film in offering an entirely different perspective on the tale of Joseph Merrick, born in 1863 with horrific deformities, exhibited as a freak at the circus, taken in by Dr. Treves at the London Hospital and subsequently afforded celebrity status.
		Where the film is based largely on Dr. Treves' memoirs, the opera is based on biographies of Joseph Merrick giving his character a more central focus than in the film.
		At first tempted to make Merrick a counter-tenor, Petitgirard finally decided that only the contralto voice could give him the effects he wanted.
