PAUL RAZAVET (AURAY, MORBIHAN, 27 JULY, 1882 – ? 1957)
He began his opera career in
1911 at the opera house in Verviers, Belgium. He performed at various opera
houses including Nice, Nantes, Montpellier, and Vichy before being drafted into
military service in 1914. He served throughout World War I as a soldier with
the 1st French Infantry Division.
After the war, he was engaged
by the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels in 1918, where he remained until 1925.
During his tenure there, he established himself as an excellent lyrical tenor.
In 1925, he appeared at the Opéra National de Bordeaux and later made his debut
at the Opéra-Comique in Paris as Werther.
In 1923, he performed at the
Théâtre de la Monnaie in the French-speaking premiere of Ruggiero Zandonai’s
Francesca da Rimini. His elegant stage presence earned him a special place in
the hearts of Belgian opera audiences.
He retired from the stage in
1932 and subsequently taught singing in Paris.
