Monsieur Grégoire

Monsieur Grégoire singsGuillaume Tell: Asile héréditaire

Another of the great many French singers on whom proper research is sorely missing. Only two facts about his career are known so far:
- In 1926, the Théâtre Sarah-Bernhardt in Paris restaged a 1918 Sacha Guitry comedy, Deburau – originally a straight theater play, but for the restaging enriched with incidental music by André Messager. In this form, it was a world premiere at the Sarah-Bernhardt (7 October). Grégoire played and sang the role of Clément.
- In 1934, he made his Opéra-Comique debut as Canio.
