André Charles Prosper Messager, born in Montluçon on December 30, 1853 and died in the 17th arrondissement of Paris on February 24, 1929, is a French composer and conductor. He trained at the Niedermeyer school with Eugène Gigout, Gabriel Fauré and Camille Saint-Saëns for composition. His career as a conductor began at the Folies-Bergères, then he directed the orchestra of the Eden Theater in 1880 in Brussels. In 1898, Messager was appointed conductor of the Opéra-Comique and remained there until 1903. In 1900, he created Louise by Gustave Charpentier and in 1902, Pelléas et Mélisande that Claude Debussy dedicated to him. He mainly composes for the theater by writing ballet music (Les Deux Pigeons, 1886, performed at the Opéra Garnier), operettas and operas. In addition to his many lyrical works, he composed, with Gabriel Fauré, the Messe des pêches de Villerville, as well as Souvenirs de Bayreuth on themes by Richard Wagner. Some of his orchestral works are a success, such as his Symphony which received the gold medal from the Society of Composers and premiered at the Colonne Concerts on January 20, 1878.
