life and work
Bouteiller, born in Paris in 1788, studied with the Italian opera composer Angelo Tarchi , who had taught at the Conservatory of Naples and lived in Paris since 1797, and at the Conservatoire de Paris . In 1806 he won the premier Premier Grand Prix de Rome with the cantata Héro et Léandre based on a libretto by Jacques Bins de Saint-Victor . However, he renounced the trip to Rome and instead took up a position in the legal administration.
From then on he devoted himself to music only as an amateur. In 1817 his comic opera Le Trompeur sans le vouloir, based on a libretto by Jean-François Roger and Auguste Creuzé de Lesser, premiered at the Theater Feydeau . After the opera's failure, Bouteiller apparently gave up composing. His cantata was recently performed in 2007 by the Orchester National de Montpellier with singer Ana Maria Labin .
