About Guillaume Bouteiller
- Guillaume Bouteiller (or Pierre-Guillaume), born in Paris in 1788, was a French composer.He entered the Conservatoire de Paris, then presented himself in 1806 at the Prix de Rome (created in 1803) where he was awarded a first prize for his cantata Hero and Leander, to a text by Saint-Victor.
- Despite this first success, he preferred to decline the offer of the trip to Rome.
- Following this first, a series of other withdrawals caused a scandal under the Empire. In 1817 his comic opera Le Trompeur sans le vouloir was premiered at the Theatre Feydeau after a libretto by Jean-François Roger and Auguste Creuzé de Lesser.
- After the failure of the opera, Bouteiller apparently gave up composing.
- His cantata was more recently performed in 2007 by the Orchestre National de Montpellier with singer Ana Maria Labin.
