He made his debut (1889) at the Opéra-Comique in Gounod’s Mireille (as Vincent). He sang in several world premieres, including Bruneau’s L’attaque du moulin and Saint-Saëns’s Phryné. He also appeared in the first Paris performances of Madama Butterfly and Falstaff, as well as the first Don Juan at the Opéra-Comique. In 1909, he traveled to the United States for a series of appearances, including two seasons (1909-11) at the Metropolitan Opera. In 1912, he was part of the Boston Opera Company, where he was commended for his sensitive portrayal of Don José in Carmen. Clément was last heard at the age of sixty in a concert performance.
