  Objet Philip WELLER : 'Lemaure, Catherine-Nicole', Grove Music Online, ed. L. Macy (Accessed 24 March 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
  "Lemaure, Catherine-Nicole (b Paris, 3 Aug 1704; d Paris, 1786). French soprano. Entering the Paris Opéra chorus in about 1719, she sang Astraea then Libya in the 1721–2 revival of Lully’s Phaëton. She quickly came to sing such principal parts as Hippodamie in the première of Mouret’s Pirithoüs and the title role in Lacoste’s Philomèle (both 1723). Her temperament was capricious and volatile, however, and she left the Opéra without warning in 1725 after a performance of A.C. Destouches and M.-R. Lalande’s Les éléments. She returned in 1726, but her rivalry with Mlle Pélissier caused disputes among ‘les politiques de l’Opéra’and she disappeared again in 1727–30, returning to sing in Campra’s Hésione. She sang Oriane (Lully’s Amadis, 1731) with triumphant success, created Iphise (Montéclair’s Jephté, 1732) and sang the title role in Destouches’Issé (1733 revival). She sang Iphigenia in the 1734 revival of Desmarets’Iphigénie en Tauride. […] Her 1740 performances of Iphise and Oriane were greeted with enthusiastic ovations, and in 1744 she supplanted Pélissier as Iphise in Rameau’s Dardanus, a role Pélissier had created. Lemaure retired in 1744, but was still cited with admiration well into the 1760s and 70s."
