BEAUMAVIELLE, a baritone singer, brought from Toulouse by Perrin to sing in 'Pomone', the first French opera by Cambert, produced in 1671. After Lulli had obtained the transference of Perrin's monopoly to himself, Beaumavielle was one of the best singers at his opera-house. He died in 1688, soon after Lulli, and was succeeded by Thévenard.
