Molinier〔Infrequently spelled Molinié (Tamvaco 2000, vol. 2, p. 740).〕 was the stage name of François Gély (1807–1859), a French operatic baritone who mostly performed minor roles at the Paris Opéra.〔Tamvaco 2000, vol. 2, p. 740.〕 He made his professional debut without much success on 15 February 1826 with the Opéra-Comique at the Salle Feydeau as Alibour in Méhul's ''Euphrosine et Coradin''.〔 He first appeared at the Paris Opéra on 2 October 1837 as an emergency replacement in a leading bass role, Pietro in Daniel Auber's ''La muette de Portici''. He sang with great emotion, but was thought to have overextended his resources. However, having rescued the performance (and the receipts), he was rewarded by engagement as a company regular, and continued to sing there until 1854.〔 During this period he created a number of minor roles, as noted in the list below. He also performed other minor roles, such as a herald-in-arms in Meyerbeer's ''Robert le diable'', the Comte de Nevers in Meyerbeer's ''Les Huguenots'', Rodolphe and Melcthal in Rossini's ''Guillaume Tell'', and Pharaon in Rossini's ''Moïse''.〔Tamvaco 2000, pp. 774 (Rodolphe), 816 (herald-in-arms), 818 (Melchtal, Pharaon); Wolff 1962, p. 118 (Comte de Nevers).〕 ==Roles created== * 1838: Lorenzo in ''Guido et Ginevra'' by Halévy * 1838: Pompeo in ''Benvenuto Cellini'' by Berlioz * 1839: Pikler in ''Le lac des fées'' by Auber〔Tamvaco 2000, p. 869.〕 * 1840: A Christian in ''Les martyrs'' by Donizetti * 1840: A lord in ''La favorite'' by Donizetti * 1843: A student in ''Charles VI'' by Halévy * 1844: Randolph in ''Marie Stuart'' by Louis Niedermeyer * 1847: A herald in ''Jérusalem'' by Giuseppe Verdi * 1849: The herald in ''Le prophète'' by Meyerbeer〔Wolff 1962, p. 177; Parsons 1993, p. 877.〕 * 1852: A lord in ''Le Juif errant'' by Halévy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Molinier (baritone)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
