Agustarello Affré
Agustarello Affre (23 October 1858 - 27 December 1931) was a French operatic tenor. He possessed a powerful and firm voice which garnered him the nickname the "French Tamagno" in comparison to the great Italian tenor. He was one of the leading operatic tenors in Paris from 1890-1911. He spent the last years of his career singing and directing operas in the United States. After World War I, he lived in retirement in France.

Born in Saint-Chinian, Affre was trained at the Conservatoire de Toulouse and the Conservatoire de Paris. He studied singing with Edmond Duvernoy and Pierre Gailhard. After singing in theatres in the French provinces, he made his debut in Paris at the Opéra in 1890 as Edgardo in Gaetano Donizetti's ''Lucia di Lammermoor'' opposite Nellie Melba in the title role, who also made her debut.〔(Agustarello Affré at arts.jrank.org )〕 He remained a leading tenor at that opera house for the next 20 years, portraying such roles as Arnold Melchtal in ''William Tell'', Belmonte in ''Die Entführung aus dem Serail'', the Duke of Mantua in ''Rigoletto'', Eléazar in ''La Juive'', Fernand in ''La favorite'', Jean de Leyde in ''Le prophète'', Radames in ''Aida'', Raoul de Nangis in ''Les Huguenots'', Renaud in Gluck's ''Armide'', Vasco da Gama in ''L'Africaine'', and the title roles in ''Lohengrin'' and ''Sigurd''.〔 He created the role of the Touranien prisoner in the world premiere of Jules Massenet's ''Le mage'' in 1891.
Outside of Paris, Affre appeared as a guest artist at the Opéra de Marseille, Opéra National de Lyon, and the Théâtre du Grand Cercle in Aix-les-Bains. In 1900 he performed at La Monnaie in Brussels. In 1909 he appeared at the Royal Opera House in London as Samson in ''Samson et Dalila'' and in the title role of Gounod's ''Faust''. He recorded extensively for Pathé, including the roles of Don José in Georges Bizet's ''Carmen'' (1911) and Roméo in Gounod's ''Roméo et Juliette'' (1912) in the company's "Le Théâtre chez soi" ("Your Theater at Home") full-length opera and drama series. In 1911 he moved to the United States where he was heard in operas in New Orleans, San Francisco, and in Havana.
