Robert Massard
Robert Massard was a powerhouse French baritone who lit up the operatic stage during the mid-20th century, particularly celebrated for his commanding presence in French repertoire. A staple at the Paris Opera, he became synonymous with iconic roles like Escamillo in *Carmen*, Valentin in *Gounod’s Faust*, and the tormented jester in *Rigoletto*. His rich, resonant voice and dramatic flair made him a favorite in live performances and studio recordings alike, as heard in historic releases like the 1961 *Rigoletto* and *Carmen* suites. Massard’s collaborations with fellow legends—like Denise Scharley and Andrée Esposito—highlighted his role as a linchpin of France’s operatic golden age, blending technical precision with fiery charisma. Whether in Berlioz’s *Benvenuto Cellini* or Rossini’s *Le Comte Ory*, he left a vivid imprint on the classics he brought to life.
