Legallois retired in 1837. She died on 28 February 1870 in Paris.[3]

List of shows
  • 1827 – Moïse
  • 1830 – Manon Lescaut
  • 1831 - L'orgie[3]
gollark: YouTube uses 128kbps Opus.
gollark: Low meaning "<16kbps or so".
gollark: If you can afford really high bitrates FLAC is better because it's lossless, and at low ones it's apparently beaten by other stuff.
gollark: Opus is very cool because it is open/not patented or whatever and the best available codec for everything except really high or really low bitrates.
gollark: MP3 is apparently "transparent", i.e. sounds the same as uncompressed audio, at 256kbps or so, Opus at lower ones.
