Written in 1900, "L'Aiglon" is a play in six acts by Edmond Rostand based on the life of Napoleon II, who was the son of Emperor Napoleon I and his second wife, Empress Marie Louise. The title of the play comes from a nickname for Napoleon II, the French word for "eaglet" (a young eagle). The title role was created by Sarah Bernhardt in the play's premiere on 15 March 1900 at the Théàtre Sarah Bernhardt.
Edmond Rostand’s sympathetic treatment of sensitive people is as evident in his portrait of Napoleon’s idealistic but hesitant son as it is in that of his ugly but unselfish "Cyrano de Bergerac".

Autorenporträt
Edmond Rostand was a celebrated French playwright, born on April 1, 1868, in Marseille, France, to a distinguished and cultured Provençal family. His literary work is often remembered for its poetic fervor, romanticism, and bold theatricality. Rostand's enduring fame is significantly centered on his play 'Cyrano de Bergerac' (1897), a sweeping romantic drama that combines witty wordplay with gallant idealism and unrequited love, considered a classic in the world of theatre. 'L'Aiglon' (1900) is another notable contribution by Rostand, which is a historical verse drama that portrays the tragic life of Napoleon II (the Duke of Reichstadt). The play enacts the struggle of the duke as he deals with his illustrious heritage and his own political impotence within the confines of the Austrian court. Known for his intricate use of rhyme and meter, Rostand specialized in crafting heroic and poignant characters, often tackling themes of glory, honor, and passion. His works resonate a deep emotional chord among audiences, coupling a nostalgic allure for history and heroism with an exquisite manipulation of language. Rostand was elected to the Académie Française in 1901, reflecting his significant contribution to French literature. He passed away on December 2, 1918, in Paris, but his literary legacy endures, influencing theatre aficionados and contributing to cultural heritage. Rostand's eloquence and dramatic flair continue to captivate the hearts of readers and theatre-goers alike.
