JEAN DELVOYE (LIÈGE, 25 NOVEMBER, 1861 – OUGRÉE, 13 JUNE,
1938)
He studied singing at the
Conservatory of Liège under Mr. Bonheur, then continued his training with
Carmon and Ismaël. He began his career in Dunkirk during the 1887-1888 season
and subsequently performed in Angers, Nantes, and Marseilles. After a season in
Nice, he moved to Lyon before being engaged by the Opéra-Comique in Paris,
where he had a long tenure.
At the Opéra-Comique, he appeared
in several notable productions, including J. Massenet’s Manon in 1901, where he
performed alongside Mary Garden and Léon Beyle. He reprised the role in Manon
in 1905, this time partnering with Edmond Clément and Marguerite Carre. In
1907, he was featured in the premiere of X. Leroux’s Le Chemineau. It is likely
that he retired from the stage around 1910.
