Balfe was one of the few British composers of his time (the early nineteenth century) who had much experience abroad. He spent a good many years in Italy and France, singing, and composing Operas in the Italian style. With The Siege of Rochelle (Drury Lane, 1835) he became known as a writer of English Operas, and The Maid of Artois, which appeared in the following year, with Malibran in the cast, strengthened his reputation.
