Biography
Born in Madrid, Gélabert entered the Conservatoire de Paris in 1873 and obtained a first run off in opéra comique in 1876. In 1877, she was hired at the Théâtre des Folies-Dramatiques where she created Les Cloches de Corneville, then at the Théâtre de la Gaîté, Le Grand Mogol, Le Voyage de Suzette,[2] La Fille du tambour-major.[3]
