Madame Conti Damoreau

Mme (Conti) Damoreau

Singing teacher at Nice in 1875. On 17 April 1875 Marie plays at the pupils' matinée given by «Mme Conti Damoreau et M. Laussel»: «Les artistes sont les élèves et le public les parents et amis» (031.0252); the pupils of Mme Damoreau sing «vilainement, pas une voix mais une bonne méthode cependant», and Laussel and Damoreau play the Tannhäuser overture on two pianos before «la dame» sings (031.0261; see LAUSSEL, GROTTE_DE_FINGAL).

Identity uncertain

The famous soprano Laure Cinti-Damoreau (1801-1863) taught singing but died in 1863 (Wikipedia, «Laure Cinti-Damoreau»), so the Mme Damoreau of 1875 must be another person using her name: a relative or a pupil who kept the name. Readers' insights are welcome.
