Jules Monjauze was a Paris tenor who began as an actor at the Odéon in 1845, after studying singing at the Conservatoire. Back from an engagement in St Petersburg, he made his debut at the Théâtre-Lyrique in 1855 in Halévy's Jaguarita l'Indienne and became one of its favourites, creating parts in Reyer's La statue, the house's French Rigoletto and Violetta, and Macduff in the revised Macbeth of 1865. He later sang at the Opéra-Comique, and in 1877 took on the grand-opera repertory at Bordeaux, in Le trouvère and Guillaume Tell. He died at Meulan that September, aged fifty-one.
