Le Juif polonais

Poster from the première

Le Juif polonais (The Polish Jew) is a 1900 opera in three acts by Camille Erlanger composed to a libretto by Henri Caïn.

It was adapted from the 1867 stage play Le Juif polonais by Erckmann-Chatrian. The play was translated into English in 1871 as The Bells by Leopold Lewis.[1] The same material was used by Karel Weis for his 1901 opera, Der polnische Jude.[2]
