Michel Lanjac

His real name was Michel Lenormand.

He was primarily associated with the Théâtre des Arts in his native Rouen, where he had also studied voice with Lucienne Vifquain. He also sang in provincial places like Cherbourg or Rochefort-sur-Mer, but also at the Toulon Opéra – a bit of opera and a lot of operetta, almost exclusively secondary parts (Flavio in Norma, Trin in Fanciulla del West, Philistine messenger in Samson et Dalila, Gontran in La vie parisienne, Raoul de St-Brioche in Die lustige Witwe, Emile in Rose-Marie...). His career lasted at least until the end of the 1980s.

I wish to thank Claude Ribou for the pictures, recordings and broadsides.
