Monsieur Baroilhet, 1845. Portrait of French operatic baritone Paul Barroilhet. In 1840, he '...made his debut at the Academie de Musique, in the part of King Alphonse, in "The Favourite." That beautiful air, " Pour tant d'Amour," sung by Baroilhet with that depth of expression and delicacy of feeling which distinguish him, was applauded in the most rapturous manner - his acting, his voice, and method, were all subjects of the highest admiration'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
