Life
Life
Born in Cologne, at the age of 17 Pasqué decided to have his voice trained. At the instigation of Daniel-François-Esprit Auber, he was accepted at the Conservatoire de Paris. There he was a pupil of the tenor Antoine Ponchard. On 4 May 1844 he made his debut as a "hunter" in the "night camp" in Mainz. He came in 1845 as baritone to the Staatstheater Darmstadt. From 1846 to 1847 he was active in Leipzig, but then went back to Darmstadt. In the summer of 1855 he was director of the Deutsche Oper in Amsterdam, and from 1856 to 1859 opera director in Weimar. After illness and the loss of his voice he became an economic inspector in Darmstadt in 1859. Besides music-related literature, his main work "Geschichte der Musik und des Theater am Hofe zu Darmstadt", he also wrote stories and the libretto to Johann Joseph Abert's opera Astorga. Pasqué died in Alsbach-Hähnlein at the age of 70.
