HECTOR DUPEYRON (BORDEAUX, 10 NOVEMBER, 1861 – PARIS, JULY, 1911)

 

 

 


He received his education at the Paris Conservatory under Boulanger and Obin. In 1887, he made his stage debut at the theatre of Nîmes as Eléazar in Halévy’s La Juive. He remained active at this house for two years, until 1889, and then undertook guest performances on French stages and tours with traveling opera companies, which led him, among other places, to Athens in 1889.

In the 1890–92 seasons, he was engaged by the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels, followed by an engagement at the Grand Opéra in Paris. There, his first role was Matho in Reyer’s Salammbô. Until 1895, he appeared at the Grand Opéra in Robert le Diable, Les Huguenots, Lohengrin, La Walkyrie, Sigurd, Samson et Dalila, Otello, and Tannhäuser (1895).

In 1893, he guested at the opera house of Monte Carlo as Don José in Carmen, and in 1903 he appeared there in the premiere of Eugène d’Harcourt’s opera Le Tasse. In 1897, he sang at Covent Garden in London.

From 1906 onward, he worked as a pedagogue in Paris.
