Jules Massenet was a French composer, born in Montaud, near St. Stephen May 12, 1842 and died in Paris on August 13, 1912. Son of Alexis Massenet (1788-1863), industrial manufacturing scythe blades in Pont-Salomon, near Saint-Etienne and Adelaide Marancour Royer (1809-1875).  Youngest of twelve children, Jules Massenet lived in Paris in 1848, entered the Paris Conservatory at age eleven, won first prize in piano in 1859 and won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1863 with his cantata David Rizzio.  On this occasion he met Franz Liszt who asked him to assist him in his teaching duties.  Three years later, he returned to Paris and had her first success with operas: La Grand 'Tante, Don Caesar de Bazan, Mary Magdalene and The King of Lahore.  In 1878 he was appointed professor at the Conservatoire and counted Gustave Charpentier, Chausson, Georges Enesco, Henry February, Charles Koechlin, Alberic Magnard, Gabriel Pierne and Florent Schmitt among his pupils. In 1884 was created the very popular Manon, an opera based on the novel Manon Lescaut by Abbe Prevost.  His most famous operas are Don Quixote, Herodias, The Cid, The Juggler of Notre Dame, and even more, according to Werther The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe.  Thai, with its superb violin solo of the second act religious meditation, known as the Meditation from Thais, but is famous, surrounded by a sulfurous reputation, this opera was successful a decade after its creation.  The influence of the Massenet opera composers is felt, for example, in Ruggero Leoncavallo, Pietro Mascagni, Giacomo Puccini or in Pelléas et Mélisande by Claude Debussy. Its work force was impressive.  He was able to compose many hours straight, his days started at four in the morning, alternating compositions, lessons and auditions.  He left an essentially lyrical THEREFOR (twenty-five operas) as well as piano and symphonic.  He was also heavily influenced by religious subjects, and has often been considered the heir of Charles Gounod. His house could not, despite the stubborn will of his niece, and become a municipal museum was sold, his remains were transferred out of the cemetery. .
