Jules Duprato

Jules Laurent Anacharsis Duprato (20 August 1827 – 20 May 1892)[1] was a 19th-century French composer.

[2][5] After the success of his opéra comique Les Trovatelles, performed at Salle Favart in 1854 and his operetta M'sieu Landry, premiered at Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens in 1856, expectations were high for the young composer.

[8] He published several arrangements of La Marseillaise,[citation needed] wrote music for male chorus and one symphony.

[9] His pupils included Robert Planquette,[2] Georges Douay,[2] and Antoine Simon.

[10] His grave at Montmartre Cemetery is decorated with a medallion by sculptor Gabriel Thomas.
