Ferdinand Prévôt

Ferdinand Prévôt (2 May 1800 – 11 June 1879)[1] was a French operatic bass-baritone.[2] His surname is also found spelled as Prevot or Prévost.

He was born Pierre-Ferdinand Prévôt in Caussade (Tarn-et-Garonne). He studied at the Paris Conservatory, winning the first prize in vocalisation and second prize in chant in 1823.[1]

The son of a singer, he appeared in the Paris Opéra chorus in 1818.[2] He made his debut as a soloist in Grétry's Anacréon chez Polycrate on 15 March 1824.[1] He enjoyed a long career creating a number of minor roles in important operas. He sometimes sang in the same performances with his son Alexis Prévôt (a bass) and/or Alexandre Prévôt (also a bass). Since first names are sometimes not given in the sources, it is not always possible to determine which singer is meant.[2]

Prévôt retired in 1857 and died in Vulaines in 1879.[1]

Roles created
gollark: It's actually quaternionic.
gollark: To some extent I guess you could ship worse/nonexistent versions of some machinery and assemble it there, but a lot would be interdependent so I don't know how much. And you'd probably need somewhat better computers to run something to manage the resulting somewhat more complex system, which means more difficulty.
gollark: Probably at least 3 hard. Usefully extracting the many ores and such you want from things, and then processing them into usable materials probably involves a ton of different processes you have to ship on the space probe. Then you have to convert them into every different part you might need, meaning yet more machinery. And you have to do this with whatever possibly poor quality resources you find, automatically with no human to fix issues, accurately enough to reach whatever tolerances all the stuff needs, and have it stand up to damage on route.
gollark: 3.00005.
gollark: Without GregTech. I haven't used it recently, which is probably for the best.
