M ichael W illiam B alfe (Composer 1808-1870) Balfe was born in Dublin 15th May 1808 and died in England 20th October 1870. Despite the fact that nowadays ' The Bohemian Girl ' is the only one of his 28 Operas performed - though 'The Siege of Rochelle' 'The Rose of Castile' were performed in the early days of The Wexford Festival - he is really a much neglected as composer, singer and conductor. [I have a recording of The Rose of Castile performance and many of the other Operas performed at Wexford Festival.] He started his career in music very early. By the time he was seven he had composed and had publicly performed a Polacca which, according to Barret in his book, was extant at the time the book was published. He made his violin soloist debut at the age of eight in May 1816. He wrote the Ballad "Young Fanny" which with new words by T Haynes Baley was then called "The Lover's Mistake" before he was nine. This ballad was sung by Madam Vestris and many of the leading singers of that time. It was published later in "The Universal Songster " in 1826. In 1823 shortly after the death of his father he was taken to London where he got a post as violinist in The Drury Lane Theatre Orchestra - eventually becoming leading Violinist with the orchestra.

Between 1814 and 1815 he played the violin for his father’s dancing-classes, and at the age of seven composed a polacca. In. 1817 he appeared as a violinist in public, and in this year composed a ballad, first called “Young Fanny” and afterwards, when sung in Paul Pry by Madame Vestris, “The Lovers’ Mistake.” On the death of his father in 1823 he was engaged in the orchestra of Drury Lane, and being in possession of a small but pleasant baritone voice, he chose the career of an operatic singer. An unsuccessful debut was made at Norwich in Der Freischütz . In. 1825 he was taken to Rome by Count Mazzara, being introduced to Cherubini on the way. In Italy he wrote his first dramatic work, a ballet, La Perouse . At the close of 1827 he appeared as Figaro in Rossini’s Barbière , at the Italian opera in Paris.
