Mr. Pierre CORNUBERT, tenor
Pierre Cornubert was born on 14 May 1863 in Paris, where he studied singing at the Conservatoire. Hired by the Opéra-Comique in 1887, he made his debut as Daniel in Adam’s Le châlet on 30 November, the role he sang most often in the course of the next two years. This was just a few months after the Salle Favart had burned to the ground on the evening of 25 May, ten minutes into act 1 of Mignon, causing many victims among the audience as well as musicians and artists. The Opéra-Comique reopened in October, using the building of the defunct Théâtre-Lyrique on the Place du Châtelet. Apart from Daniel, Cornubert also appeared as Tonio in La fille du régiment; as Olivier (alongside Lucien Fugère and Cécile Merguillier) at the 1888 premiere of Ernest Guiraud’s Madame Turlupin, as well as appearing in its curtain-raiser, Adolphe Deslandres’s Dimanche et lundi; as Vincent in Georges Pfeiffer’s one-act L’enclume in October 1888; and in 1889 as the Byzantine Herald in the opening production of Massenet’s Esclarmonde. He also sang in a few performances of Les diamants de la couronne. His only documented later appearance at the Opéra-Comique was as Werther on 18 January 1894.
