Jeanne Perrette Le Chevalier (1688â€"1774) was a French stage actress,
notably active in Sweden. She was married to the actor and theater
manager Charles Langlois.Jeanne Perrette Le Chevalier and her spouse
and son Alexandre came to Sweden as members of the French theatre and
opera company Académie royale de musique, which was engaged by
Jean-Baptiste Landé to perform at the royal court and at the
Bollhuset in Stockholm in 1723â€"1727. She was a leading member of the
theatre and her specialty was queen- and character roles. In 1726, she
was noted for her performance as Premiére Bergére in a libretto
created by her husband and performed in honour of the birthday of
Queen Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden. The Langlois family chose to remain
in Sweden when the French theatre was dissolved. In 1729, she was
engaged as an agent to recruit a new French theatre company to perform
in Sweden, and she accompanied Carl Gustaf Tessin and Ulla Tessin to
France. However, in the end, nothing came of the project.In 1730, her
husband acquired a permit from the guilds to trade in smaller luxury
articles to support the family. He applied for it because she was a
married woman and therefore legally a minor, but in practice, his wife
used the permit and supported the family with the luxury trade for
several years, becoming a successful businesswoman. She occasionally
continued to perform on stage when French-language plays were
performed in Bollhuset theatre, such as in La Médée et Jason in 1740
and La scene de reconniassance in 1748. In 1752, it is noted the
Langlois couple gave French lessons; her husband was the instructor of
the pages of the royal court, while she hosted a Pension school for
daughters of the nobility. Jeanne Perrette Le Chevalier Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
