Cyrano de Bergerac Edmond Rostand

Film

• Cyrano de Bergerac (1925), a silent, French-Italian film version of the play, using the Pathé Stencil Color process, starring Pierre Magnier
• Cyrano de Bergerac (1946), a relatively unknown French-language black-and-white film version starring Claude Dauphin. Posters and film stills give the impression that the set designs and costumes of the 1950 film may have been modeled after this version.[33]
• Cyrano de Bergerac (1950), the first English-language adaptation of the play, and perhaps the most famous film adaptation. José Ferrer played the title role. The film was made on a low budget, but still lost money. Nevertheless, it received critical acclaim, won Ferrer the Academy Award for Best Actor, and is now considered a film classic. Mala Powers co-starred as Roxane and William Prince as Christian. Ferrer reprised the role in Cyrano and d'Artagnan, a 1964 film directed by Abel Gance.
• Cyrano de Bergerac (1990), a French adaptation with Gérard Depardieu in the title role. It won many awards including Best Film, Best Director (for Jean-Paul Rappeneau) and Best Actor (for Depardieu) in the French Césars. Franca Squarciapino won an Oscar, a Bafta and a César for her costume design for the film.
• Cyrano (2021), an American-British musical drama film directed by Joe Wright, based on Erica Schmidt's 2018 stage musical. It stars Peter Dinklage as Cyrano, Haley Bennett as Roxanne, Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Christian and Ben Mendelsohn as De Guiche. Instead of a facial disfigurement, Cyrano is a dwarf.

Television

• Walter Damrosch's Cyrano premiered in 1913 at the Metropolitan Opera.
• An opera in French, Cyrano de Bergerac, whose libretto by Henri Caïn is based on Rostand's words, was composed by the Italian Franco Alfano and was first presented in an Italian translation in 1936. The original French version has been revived in productions including the Opéra national de Montpellier with Roberto Alagna in 2003, and a 2005 Metropolitan Opera production with Plácido Domingo in the title role; both are available in DVD recordings.

• Cyrano: The Musical, a 1993 Dutch musical stage adaptation, was translated into English and produced on Broadway. It was a critical and commercial failure.
