In the field of professional librettists no one attained the level of Eugène Scribe (d. 1861), who has already been named (see sec. 179). Among lesser workers were Antonio Ghislanzoni (d. 1893), long editor of the Milan Gazzetta musicale, Angelo Zanardini (d. 1893), the Parisians Michel Carré (d. 1872) and Jules Barbier (d. 1901), who wrought jointly, and the German operetta-writers Richard Genée (d. 1895) and Camillo Wälzel ['F. Zell'] (d. 1895), who also were colaborers. Under this general head, however should be mentioned the remarkable work of Wagner (d. 1883) in supplying the poetic texts which are an integral part of his music (see secs. 207-208).
