The late M. Gayarre, opera tenor singer, 1890. Portrait from a photograph lent by Miss G. Chidley for reproduction. 'The noted Spanish singer [who]...recently died at Madrid, only forty years of age...was son of a peasant in the valley of the Roncal, in Navarre, and was at an early age apprenticed to a locksmith in Pamplona. His voice attracted the attention of Professor Eslava, who took him to Madrid. There he began his public career at a small bouffe theatre, but soon gained a leading place as an opera singer. It was at St. Petersburg that he first won high renown, and subsequent appearances at Vienna, Rome, and Milan rapidly increased his reputation. In 1877 he came to England, and was engaged at the Royal Italian Opera under Mr. Gye and Signor Lago; he continued to appear in London until 1881. His chief characters were Gennaro and Enzo, and he played with success in the "Prophète" and the "Huguenots," "Der Freischütz," "Rigol- etto," "Lohengrin," and "Tannhauser." Since 1884 Gayarre has sung mostly on the Continent; he was the "rage" during the Paris season of 1884-6, both in Italian and French opera. He reappeared at Covent-Garden in 1880, and in the following year, when he sang in Glinka's "Vie pour le Czar".' From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
