From December 1826, when he succeeded his father as first tenor at the Opéra, until his resignation in October 1836, he created the principal tenor roles in all major new productions, generating an entire repertory for the acting tenor. His success in \"Moïse\" and \"Le siège de Corinthe\" was so great that in 1827 he was appointed professeur de déclamation pour la tragédie lyrique at the Conservatoire, where his most famous student was the dramatic soprano Cornélie Falcon.\"  Soon after Gilbert Duprez came to the Opera, Nourrit resigned and for a time, he remained in Paris performing salon concerts and teaching.  During this time, \"he was the first to introduce Schubert’s lieder to Parisian audiences at the celebrated soirées organized by Liszt, Urhan and Alexandre Batta at the salons d’Erard in 1837.\"  (Evan Walker\/Sarah Hibbard, Grove Online)  The following year, Nourrit transferred to Naples where Donizetti coached him and wrote \"Poliuto\" for his Naples debut. When the opera was forbidden by censors because of its Christian subject matter, Nourrit fell into deep depression and eventually jumped to his death from his hotel window. He was one of the GREAT singers of the century, wrote the words for Eleazar's \"Rachel, quand du Seigneur\" in \"La Juive\" and libretti for ballets created by Ellsler and Taglioni (\"La Sylphide\").\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe addressee of the letter, tenor Alexis Dupont (1796-1874), was one of the great stars of the Opéra-Comique from 1821-1840.

In 1872 she married the violinist Emile Sauret, with whom she played sonatas. Her interest in string music prompted her to write a String Quartet in B minor; most of her other compositions were for piano, mostly in a brilliant style. The marriage was dissolved, and in 1875 she married the baritone Giovanni Tagliapietra, and later spent two years in Venezuela with him, organizing and conducting an opera company in which she also sang. This marriage, too, came to grief, and she reappeared as a pianist in 1889, making a triumphant tour of Europe. In 1892 she married Eugen d'Albert, under whose influence her style changed: from having been an impetuous, almost tempestuous player, she became a thoughtful and profound interpreter.
