[1][2] He authored theatre plays, mostly comedies and comédie en vaudeville and successful operettas libretti including La Fille de madame Angot (1872) by Charles Lecocq which he wrote in collaboration with Clairville and Paul Siraudin.

On 19 June 1884 in Marylebone (England), he married [3] the actress Jane Hading, who he helped make her debut at the Théâtre du Gymnase the previous year in Le Maître de forges, a huge theatrical and literary success.

Some days later, the Gil Blas informed its readers that Mr. Victor Koning, former director of the Gymnase and the Comédie-Parisienne, who had been seriously ill, is recovering and it is hoped that soon he will not feel almost more suites of the violent dizziness that had recently hit him[6] But his health was getting worse.

In Le Temps dated 8 September,[7] it read that Mlle Raphaële Sisos left Paris yesterday to go to Marseille where she has to give a series of performances.

As for Mr. Koning, whose state is less satisfactory, he is for a few days in treatment in Suresnes in doctor Meyan's health home.It is in this facility that he died three weeks later.
