Pierre Gaveaux (9 October 1761 – 5 February 1825) was a French operatic tenor and composer, notable for creating the role of Jason in Cherubini's Médée and for composing Léonore, ou L’amour conjugal, the first operatic version of the story that later found fame as Fidelio. Gaveaux was born in Béziers and sang in the cathedral choir there from the age of seven. Although intending to enter the priesthood, he also took lessons in composition. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Pierre+Gaveaux">Read
