GUY CAZENAVE (HASPARREN (PAYS BASQUE), 21 DECEMBER 1883 –ALGIERS, 24
DECEMBER 1937)
He made his debut at the Grand Opéra in Aida
(1912). He later appeared there in Samson et Dalila. Three years later, at the
same theatre, he sang in Henry VIII and Ascanio by Saint-Saëns, as well as
Hérodiade by Massenet. At the Opéra-Comique, he performed in Tosca and
Pagliacci (1928). He also sang at the theatres of Marseilles, Nice, and Lyons.
After retiring from the stage, he devoted himself to teaching and to his
business in Algiers. There were—and still are—rumours that he was killed, but
this is not true: he died after surgery.
