Ambroise Thomas

French composer Ambroise Thomas was born 5 August 1811 in Metz and died 12 February 1896 in Paris. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire, winning the Premier Grand Prix de Rome and later succeeding Auber as the Conservatoire's Director. He took a conservative stance, opposed to younger composers Bizet, Fauré and Franck. Of his operas, Mignon (1866) remains popular.
