Rose Françoise Carpentier called Madame Gonthier 7 December 1829, was a French actress and lyrical artist.
Life
Born in
Metz,[1] her aptitude for theatrical arts is said to have been apparent from childhood, and a few society successes prove her aptitude for comic roles.[2] She played in the provinces and in Brussels from 1771 to 1777.[3] She was a member of the
Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine's company[4] at theatre
La Monnaie.
She made her debut in 1778, as a boarder at the
Comédie-Italienne[5]rue Mauconseil [
fr]. At the beginning, she played the
soubrettes,[6] but while still young, she devoted herself to performing the duègnes (
duennas)[1] and the old peasant women.[2] She played on 18 March of the same year, Simone in Le sorcier by
Philidor, then the mother Bobi, in Rose et Colas by
Monsigny, and Alix, in Les trois fermiers by
Dezède.[7]
In 1779, she was admitted as a member of the Comédie-Italienne. She successively played comedy and comic opera. Her appearance at the
théâtre de la salle Favart in 1783 was marked by triumphs. She left this theatre following a dispute with the management and in 1793 she signed a contract with the
théâtre de la République but Madame Gonthier was not there "in her sphere".[2] She played in Lille in 1798–1799.[7]
