Louis Nourrit.
Louis Nourrit (4 August 1780, Montpellier[1] – 23 September 1831, Brunoy[1]) was an early 19th-century French tenor. Throughout his operatic career, Nourrit also operated as a diamond merchant.[2]
Biography
After he left Montpellier, he was admitted at the
Gioacchino Rossini's Le siège de Corinthe in 1826. This was the last stage appearance of Louis who thus left his position as the Opéra's principal tenor to his son. He died in 1831.[2]
His other son, Auguste Nourrit, was also an operatic tenor.
Other performances by Louis Nourrit included:
- Fernand Cortez (28 November 1809), by Gaspare Spontini
- Les bayadères (8 August 1810) by Charles-Simon Catel
- La mort d'Abel (1810) by Rodolphe Kreutzer
- Les amazones (1811) by Étienne Méhul
