François Beaumavielle
François Beaumavielle (died 1688, Paris) was a French operatic bass-baritone.
Trained in Toulouse, he was engaged at the
Académie Royale de Musique in Paris by Pierre Perrin and Robert Cambert
, where he created their opera Pomone in 1671.
He went on creating all the first roles within his vocal range, then known as "basse-taille", in the operas by Jean-Baptiste Lully notably; Cadmus in Cadmus et Hermione, le Temps in Atys, Jupiter in Isis, Phinée in Persée, etc.
A singer with a powerful voice and a consummate actor, he was sometimes criticised for over-emphasis.
