About Roger Bourdin:

Roger Bourdin (14 June 1900 in Paris – 14 September 1973 in Paris) was a French baritone, particularly associated with the French repertory. His career was largely based in France. His daughter is Françoise Bourdin.

Born in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, Bourdin studied at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he was a pupil of André Gresse and Jacques Isnardon. He made his professional debut at the Opéra-Comique in 1922, as Lescaut in Manon. His debut at the Palais Garnier took place in 1942, in Henri Rabaud's Mârouf, savetier du Caire. The major part of his career was to be spent between these two theatres, where he created some 30 roles, among them the title role in Milhaud's Bolivar.

Bourdin seldom performed outside France, but did a few guest appearances at the Royal Opera House in London (including Pelléas to the Mélisande of Maggie Teyte in 1930), La Scala in Milan, and the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. He also sang in the first performance of surviving fragments of Chabrier's Vaucochard et fils Ier on 22 April 1941 at the Salle du Conservatoire with Germaine Cernay, conducted by Roger Désormière.

His most memorable roles were: Clavaroche in André Messager's Fortunio, Metternich in Arthur Honegger and Jacques Ibert's L'Aiglon, Duparquet in Reynaldo Hahn's Ciboulette, Lheureux in Emmanuel Bondeville's Madame Bovary, the lead in Darius Milhaud's Bolivar, but also standard roles such as Valentin, Athanael, Onegin, and Sharpless. In all he sang an estimated 100 roles throughout his long career.
