Alain Boublil is a French librettist and songwriter best known for his collaborations with Claude-Michel Schönberg. In the 1960s, he began his career writing songs for various artists while working with Vogue Records, including work for Jean-François Michael. His breakthrough came in the early 1970s when he and Schönberg created La Révolution française, an opera about the French Revolution. The project was released as a double album and later staged in 1973 at the Palais des Sports de Paris. Boublil continued his collaboration with Schönberg on several major musicals, most notably Les Misérables (1980), which became an international success, translated into numerous languages, seen by millions worldwide, and received major awards, including multiple Tony Awards.
