Charles Rousselière +••.••(...)) was a French dramatic tenor whose 20-year career took him to major theaters on both sides of the Atlantic. Born into poverty in the village of Saint-Nazaire-d'Aude in the south of France, Rousselière moved with his family to Algeria as a young boy. Initially, it was expected that he would pursue his father’s trade of a blacksmith, but this profession held little interest for him. After his impressive singing voice caught the attention of friends and family, Rousselière was encouraged to audition for the Paris Conservatory. Landing in Paris at age 19, he was overwhelmed by the fast pace of the city and quickly returned to his family in Algeria. In spite of this disappointing start, Rousselière gathered his courage and tried his luck again the following year. To make ends meet, the young tenor began working the Parisian Café-Concert network. He also auditioned for the Paris Conservatory and won a scholarship. As was the custom, he studied three different musical disciplines…voice, opera and comic opera…which were taught to him by a trio of celebrated tenors, Edmond Vergnet, Adolphe Girardot and Léon Achard, respectively. Following his graduation in 1899, Rousselière sang roles with a few minor companies in France and Belgium. He created the role of Andros in the world premiere of Fauré’s Prométhée at the Arènes de Béziers on August 27, 1900 and six weeks later made his Opéra de Paris debut in the title role of Samson et Dalila. Although he would eventually be overshadowed by other tenors, Rousselière managed to gain a foothold at the Opéra, making an impression in such operas as Faust, Roméo et Juliette, Sigurd and Pagliacci. He created the role of Le Veilleur in the world premiere of Saint-Saëns’ Les Barbares at the Opéra in October of 1901 and Boris in the premiere of Marty’s opera Daria in January of 1905. He also created the role of Giorgio in the premiere performance of Mascagni’s Amica in Monte Carlo in March of that same year. Rousselière’s Met debut came about on November 27, 1906 as Roméo to Geraldine Farrar’s Juliette in Gounod’s opera. Unfortunately, the tenor failed to catch on with New York audiences and only sang 25 performances of six roles during his one season with the company. In February, he left New York, never to return. In spite of his less than stellar showing in North America, Rousselière was still quite popular in Europe and South America. He appeared in Orange, Rome, Palermo, Milan, Madrid, Berlin, Montevideo and Buenos Aires. However, Paris and Monte Carlo were the sites for the tenor’s most important work during the bulk of his career. Rousselière built a repertoire of more than 30 roles including Eléazar in La Juive, Gérald in Lakmé, Don José in Carmen, Énée in Les Troyens, Manrico in Il Trovatore, Pollione in Norma, Canio in Pagliacci, and the title roles in Otello, Don Carlo, Siegfried, Parsifal, Faust and Damnation de Faust. The tenor also created roles in the world premieres of such works as Charpentier’s Julien, Saint-Saëns’ L’Ancêtre, de Camondo’s Le Clown, Gunsbourg’s Le Vieil Aigle, Leroux’s Theodora, Fauré’s Pénélope, Massenet’s Cléopâtre and Messager’s Béatrice. Rousselière’s career experienced an interruption with the onset of the First World War in 1914. Although it is possible that the tenor’s hiatus from the stage was due to his having been conscripted into military service, there are no surviving records to support this theory. He did resume his career following the war, but his return to the stage was short lived. He retired from performing in 1920 at the early age of 45 and devoted his energies to teaching. Rousselière spent his final years in a nursing home in Joué-lès-Tours where he died in 1950. Charles Rousselière left a remarkable legacy of nearly 140 recordings. The majority of these recordings…well over 90 titles…were made during his first sessions for G&T in 1903. The last were recorded for Polydor in 1930, a decade after his retirement. In between, the tenor recorded for Odeon, Dutreih, Disque Ideal, Beka and Pathé. With the exception of a few early discs that are marred by musical errors (probably due to nervousness on the tenor’s part), Rousselière’s recordings provide today’s listener with a fascinating historical legacy. Here, Rousselière sings Bachelet's "Tendresse". This recording was made in Paris for G&T in 1903.
