Gabriel-Vincent Thevenard

Gabriel-Vincent Thevenard (10 August 1669 - 24 August 1741) was a French operatic baritone (basse taille).

Thevenard was born at Orleans or possibly Paris. Arriving in Paris in 1690, he studied under the composer Andre Cardinal Destouches and went on to become a member of the Academie Royale de Musique. He was notable for playing tragic roles that made use of his skill at declamatory recitatives. He appeared in over 80 tragedies en musique and operas ballet before finally retiring in 1729. He died in Paris.
