(†1742)> LIBRETTIST
Fermelhuis, or Fermal’huis, Jean (?; 1742, Paris), librettist, was the son of the physician Jean-Baptiste Fermelhuis and is remembered for having done the libretto for Pyrrhus mounted at the Opéra in 1730.

X.” BIBLIOGRAPHY: Sort by:DefaultTitleAuthorDateAscendingDescending Biographie universelle ancienne et moderne (Paris: Delagrave, n.d.), 40…
