Alain Vanzo (April 2, 1928 – January 27, 2002) was a great Gérald in “Lakmé”. He represented a traditional French lyric style during a period when larger Italian and German vocal styles had become popular. The first Gérald was Jean-Alexandre Talazac (May 6, 1851 – December 26, 1896), a French operatic tenor, a highly stylish singer noted for the purity and brilliance of his voice.
Renée Doria (born 13 February 1921) is a French opera singer, one of the leading lyric coloratura sopranos of her era in France.
