Edmond Cabel

Edmond Antoine Auguste Cabel [né Dreulette] (18 November 1832 – December 1888) was born in Namur and was the brother of the famous coloratura soprano Marie Cabel. He also became a singer and studied at the Paris Conservatory up to 1855 and sang at the Opéra-Comique from 1856 to 1859. At the Théâtre Lyrique he created the role of Hylas in Berlioz' Les Troyens à Carthage on 4 November 1863, although his part was cut early in the run, since he was also appearing in Félicien David's La perle du Brésil concurrently and would have had to be paid extra for performances exceeding his contractual limit of 15 per month. From 1871 to 1872 he appeared at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels. He died in Brussels.^[1]
