Veronique is an Operetta that premiered in December 1898 in Paris, France. Written by Andre Messager it would prove to be his most popular piece and toured throughout Europe in the late 1890s before it was brought, in its original French version, to the Notting Hill Gate Coronet by Lady Gladys de Grey in 1903. The following year a production was put together which included a translation of the libretto by Henry Atkins who was best known for his WWI song 'Private Tommy Atkins'. It opened at the Apollo Theatre, London on the 18th May 1904, it would run for 496 performances.
