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.
