Georges Régis (Tenor) (? - ?)

                                                                 Almaviva

In 1898 he made his debut in Marseille. Here he appeared also in the 1899-1900 season. In 1899 sang at the Théâtre-Lyrique in Paris in Weber’s ‘’Oberon’’. In the 1902-1903 season he made guest appearances in Bordeaux, then took part as comprimario at Opéra-Comique: Léopold in ‘’La Juive’’, Ruodi in ‘’Guillaume Tell’’, and Jonas in ‘’Le prophète’’. He went back to Marseille, before performing in the 1905-1906 season in New Orleans. His Paris Opéra debut took place in 1909, but he spent most of the following season at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. In 1912 at the Hammerstein Opera House in London he sang the part of Almaviva in G. Rossini's ‘’Il Barbiere di Siviglia’’. By the mid-twenties he was back at the Opéra, mainly as a comprimario, but still singing Ruodi and taking part in creations such as Roussel’s ‘’La naissance de la lyre’’ (1925).
