Marie Fel

She made her debut at the Paris Opera in 1733 and sang regularly at the Concert Spirituel.

In a career that lasted 35 years, she sang in all the operas of Rameau along with Pierre Jélyotte, created roles in those of Mondonville, and participated in revivals of those of Lully and Campra.

[citation needed] She had a long-term relationship with the painter Quentin de La Tour, who painted her portrait.

"The greatest personalities of her age sought her good graces and gave her lively proofs of their affections," including men of letters such as the Baron von Grimm and the Encyclopédiste Louis de Cahusac.
