Les Francs-juges
Music by Hector Berlioz
Les Francs-juges (translated as The Free Judges or The Judges of the Secret Court) is the title of an unfinished opera by the French composer Hector Berlioz written to a libretto by his friend Humbert Ferrand in 1826. Berlioz abandoned the incomplete composition and destroyed most of the music. He retained the overture, which has become a popular concert item, and used some other musical material in later compositions.
