Vocalist. He received recognition as a French-Canadian lyric opera tenor, who performed in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific between 1897 and 1930. During his New Zealand eight-month-long tour in 1916, he performed in at least twelve locations with more than one performance at a few. Born Eusèbe Pantaléon Cyprien Wilbrod Dufault, he changed his name early in his career after performing in New York, as he felt his English-speaking audiences had problems pronouncing his birth name. His father, Eusèbe Dufault, discouraged his musical career, wanting him to become a dentist. He received his musical education at Séminaire de Saint-Hyacinthe from September 1884 to January 1892; the Séminaire de Nicolet; studied music in Montreal; later in Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts; and with Hector Dupeyron of the Paris Opera. He began to sing professionally by 1897. From 1898 to 1900, he had opened a voice studio in New York. During his career, he had a close professional relationship with the Austro-Bohemian composer and conductor, Gustav Mahler, and on the Mahler Foundation website, Dufault's place of birth is listed in his biography as "America." There is Eusèbe Dufault, born 1878 in the United States, residing in Worcester, Massachusetts, but he died in 1952, which gives evidence of confusion between these two men. Dufault sang solos at Carnegie Hall with Mahler conducting the New York Philharmonic Orchestra for two performances in January and February of 1910, shortly before Mahler's death. In 1903 he sang with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra, and the program from this concert mentioned that he had been living and performing in New York "for many years". He had a highly polished repertoire, which is well represented on records produced from 1911 to 1921 for Columbia, Edison, Victor, and Starr recording labels. His performances were comprised of exclusively French classical arias and French and English songs, notably by Botrel, Gounod, Goublier, and Tosti. There are two lakes in Canada named in his honor, with one in Manitoba and the other in Ontario. In the 21st century, his fame is practically forgotten.
