Cécile Mézeray

[2] Mézéray made her Paris Opéra-Comique debut on 27 May 1878 as Isabelle in Le Pré aux clercs, having spent the previous winter season in Lyon.

[3] Later in 1878 she sang Marie in a revival of La Fille du régiment, and she continued to sing at the Opéra-Comique for ten years.

She created a role in Dianora by Samiel Rousseau (1879), and sang Laurette in a revival of Richard Cœur de Lion in December 1880.

[8] In the preparation for Chabrier's Le roi malgré lui Mézeray came into dispute with Carvalho over the importance of her role.
