Jean-Vital Ismaël

(

)

... that French baritone Jean-Vital Ismaël (caricature pictured), who later sang in the premieres of Bizet's Les pêcheurs de perles and Gounod's Mireille, had left home at age 16 to become a street singer?

Support Very interesting and well-written singer bio. Suggestion: the image for the DYK hook could be cropped to show the caricature better at a small size. The one in the article should probably remain as it is, since the complete cover adds much that is of interest. --Robert.Allen (talk) 20:35, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Length, date of creation and hook check out. Image is in the public domain. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:21, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
