Dalmores
CHARLES, a French tenor; born at Nancy in 1871, he early began receiving instruction on the violin and entered the conservatory at Nancy with a view of becoming a violinist. This course he abandoned after he had broken his arm; he next took up the horn. He began his career in the Colonne orchestra, and from 1888 to 1894 was a member of the Lamoureux orchestra. In the latter year he became a teacher of the horn at Lyons, and there one of the masters began training his voice. In 1899 he made his début at Rouen as a tenor, and in 1906 Oscar Hammerstein engaged him as one of the leading tenors for the Manhattan Opera House Company of New York. In 1914 he became leading tenor of the Chicago Opera Company.
