George Grossmith

    9 décembre 1847 – 1 mars 1912

    George Grossmith fut un artiste anglais polyvalent, réputé pour ses talents comiques en tant qu'auteur, compositeur, acteur et chanteur. Il est principalement célébré pour avoir créé une série de personnages emblématiques dans les opéras comiques de Gilbert et Sullivan, s'établissant comme une figure clé du théâtre musical. Au-delà de son travail scénique, Grossmith fut également un artiste solo très populaire, connu pour interpréter ses propres sketches et chansons humoristiques, ce qui a cimenté son statut d'interprète britannique de premier plan. Ses contributions littéraires ont également inclus un roman satirique remarquable, démontrant sa voix artistique polyvalente et son attrait durable.
