Alexandrine Marie Agathe Gavaudan-Ducamel (15 September 1781 – 24 June 1850) was a French opera singer who sang leading soprano roles at the Opéra Comique for over 20 years.
Her voice type and slender physique also lent itself to en travesti roles portraying boys and young men, including Benjamin in Méhul's Joseph which she performed at its premiere on 17 February 1807.
[3][6] Her only appearances outside the Opéra Comique were thirteen guest performances at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels during the 1817–1818 season when her husband was director of that opera house.
[1][4][7] Gavaudan-Ducamel gave her farewell performance on 19 December 1822 at the Théâtre Feydeau in an intermezzo entitled Les adieux au public, for which Eugène Scribe had written the libretto.
Their daughter, Marie Agathe Gavaudan who performed under the name Madame Raimbaux, was an opera singer of some note who studied under Manuel García.
