La fauvette du temple

La fauvette du temple (French pronunciation: [la fovɛt dy tɑ̃pl]) is an opéra comique in three acts of 1885, with music by André Messager and a French libretto by Paul Burani and Eugène Humbert.

The libretto bears some similarities to the outline of a vaudeville in three acts by the Cogniard brothers, La cocarde tricolore - épisode de la guerre d'Alger, seen at the old Folies-Dramatiques on 19 March 1831. Traubner describes the opera as "a militaristic, patriotic affair with Algerian scenes". It was first performed at the Théâtre des Folies-Dramatiques on 17 November 1885 and ran for 150 performances.
