Fromental Halévy's opera "Le Juif errant", based on the novel by Sue, was premiered at the Paris Opera (Salle Le Peletier) on 23 April 1852, and had 48 further performances over two seasons. The music was sufficiently popular to generate a "Wandering Jew Mazurka", a "Wandering Jew Waltz", and a "Wandering Jew Polka".
