French operatic soprano Not to be confused with Alice Regnault.
Madame Lemonnier, 1820

Thérèse Louise Antoinette Regnault, known under the name Antoinette Lemonnier, (23 August 1787 – 4 April 1866) was a French opera singer, member of the Opéra-Comique.

Life

Born in Brest, Regnault is the daughter of Jacques Louis Regnault, actor, master writer, and Geneviève Elisabeth Marchand.

Her singing teacher was Roland, baryton-martin of the Théâtre des Arts de Rouen. She made her debut, at the age of sixteen, at the first theatre of Rouen, in le Prisonnier and Maison à vendre, and stayed four years in that city. An order from the superintendent of the theatres made her come to Paris to debut at the Opéra-Comique. She made her debut on 16 December 1808, in Le jugement de Midas and Isabelle et Gertrude. Elle continue dans La Belle Arsène, La Colonie, Le Diable à Quatre, Sylvain, Une folie, La Fausse Magie, Montano et Stéphanie, Les Maris Garçons, Maison à vendre, L'Amour filiale, Les Visitandines, Le Calife de Bagdad and Euphrosine et Coradin.

Her rivalry with Cécile Duret-Saint-Aubin is due to the fact that Boieldieu wrote mostly for her and Nicolas Isouard mostly for Mme Duret.

She had a son with Boieldieu, Adrien Louis Victor Boïeldieu (1815–1883), a composer.

In 1817, she married Augustin Lemonnier, a tenor at the Opéra-Comique.

In 1823, she performed at La Monnaie.

She wants to leave th Opéra-Comique, broke up for the first time in 1829 and retired in 1831. Her benefit performance took place in 1832, salle Ventadour.

Lemonnier died in Saint-Sever-Calvados aged 78.
