Charles Rousselière – Operatic Tenor

Born: 1875
Died: 1950
French Tenor.

Unfortunately, few biographical details are to hand regarding the eminent French tenor Charles Rousselier.
He was born in 1875 and quickly made his way to the top in his native land. He certainly sang at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, but I have no details of dates or roles. He died in 1950.
Although his original records are great rarities, he did in fact record for G &T in 1903, Beca in 1905 and Pathé in 1907, and even made some electricals in the late 20’s.

We hear him on Pathé in 1907, then Natuur et Menace from The Damnation of Faust by Hector Berlioz, and then an electrical of the Faure song Lydia.
