Life

[edit]

She made her debut at the Théâtre du Châtelet in 1868.

In London she sang the repertoire of Offenbach and Hervé in 1870-1871. She was the mistress of Gabriel Hugelmann who subsidised the theatre to which she was attached.[1][2]

She was hired at the Bouffes-Parisiens in 1871[3] where she was to debut in Le Corsaire Noir.[4]

In 1873, she met the coulissier [fr] Camille Bloch, of whom she became the mistress and with whom she lived for twenty-five years from 1874 to 1899, and who, on her advice, left the theatre to devote himself to his love affairs.[5]

Hugelmann, seeking revenge, publicly denounced the presence of his former mistress[6] at the time of the searches in the lupanar of the rue de Suresnes [fr],[7] gallant refuge for theatre girls and young ladies who used to go there in secret from their lovers.[8] Debreux is named, along with about twenty fellow artists, Alice Regnault, who sues Hugelman for slander.[9][10] Méry Laurent, Gabrielle Roux, ...[11] Despite his exoneration, this episode remains attached to his name long after the fact.[12]

She played at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal and the Théâtre des Nouveautés in 1880.

Her furniture and objets d'art were put on sale in 1906.[13][14]
