ROBERT LASSALLE

 

 

 

The son of the noted 19th-century baritone Jean Lassalle, Robert Lassalle studied with his father and Jacques Isnardon. Among his earliest credited performances was his role as Faust in Boito’s Mefistofele with the Boston Opera in 1910. In 1911, Lassalle made his debut at the Paris Opéra as the Duke in Rigoletto. His career at the Opéra included roles such as Narraboth in Salomé, Samson, Lohengrin, and Faust in La Damnation de Faust. In 1912, he recorded two complete operas for Pathé: Rigoletto and La Favorite.
