According to Jacques Vrain, "Léa Silly was one of Offenbach's interpreters, notably in La Belle Hélène, where she played alongside Hortense Schneider, who considered her to be a rival; for her part, Léa Silly, in order to mock the parade of celebrities who came to pay homage to Hortense Schneider, nicknamed it "the passage of the princes".
