Léo Noël started his career at the Salle Beethoven in 1865 in "Les Troi Ivresses" by Charles Potier. He played at several small theatres before he was contracted by the Athenée in 1869. By 1872 he was engaged at the Théatre de Châtelet and in 1873 at the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique. He resided in Berlin for two years and after his return to Paris he was employed at the Folies-Dramatiques in 1879. From 1881 to 1884 he worked for the Gaîté and from 1894 to 1890 at the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin. Another engagement at the Théatre de Châtelet and one at the Théâtre de la Renaissance followed. In 1911 a fall on a staircare prevented his return to the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique. He died in 1913 in Paris and was buried at Père Lachaise. The bronze bust on his tomb was sculpted by Gustave Deloye. |
