Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny

Pierre -Alexandre Monsigny ( born October 17, 1729 Fauquembergues, near Saint- Omer; † January 14, 1817 in Paris ) was a French operatic composer.

Monsigny was of noble descent, and came early to Paris, where he was steward to the Duke of Orléans. He studied composition and then wrote a series of comic operas.

The French Revolution in 1794 brought him to office and assets. After 1777 Monsigny composed nothing more. He later lived by a board of the Opéra -Comique in 1815 and member of the Académie des beaux -arts.
