Mlle Guédon de Presles
Anne Madeleine Guédon de Presles, known as Mlle Guédon de Presles (b. early 18th century - c. 1754) was a French singer, composer and actress.[1]
She was probably the daughter of who often performed at court.
Mlle Guédon de Presles performed for the first time in court before the queen in 1748,[2][3] when she sang in Mouret's ballet Les Sens.[3] During the 1740s and 1750s, she sang at the Paris Thèâtre de la Reine in secondary roles.
Between 1742 and 1747, a number of her songs were published in Mercure de France.[4] She is the first known woman to have published a collection of airs.[2]
