Eugène Vauthrot on an article about the representation of Tannhäuser in 1861 at the Opéra de Paris

Eugène-François Vauthrot (2 September 1825 in Paris – 18 April 1871 there) was a French pianist and organist, leader of singing at the Opéra de Paris (1856-1870),[1] singing teacher at the Conservatoire de Paris (1865), and arranger of piano reductions of French vocal works.

With Victor Massé and Louis Croharé,[2] Vauthrot took part in the 164 rehearsals of Tannhäuser for the 1861 performances at the Paris Opéra. Richard Wagner paid tribute to them: "they had made it easier for him to do his job with real dedication".[3]
