A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Laroon, J.

LAROON, J., a foreigner who sang in opera in the first years of the last century in London, and was, perhaps, the son of M. Laroon, the artist (born at the Hague 1653, died 1705), who engraved the 'Cries of London,' etc. J. Laroon played, among other parts, that of Sylvander (tenor) in 'The Temple of Love,' by G. F. Saggione (1706), not (as Burney incorrectly says) by Greber. [See Gallia.]
