Uit het lemma 'Hugues Cuénod'

'Hugues-Adhémar Cuénod (born 26 June 1902) is a Swiss tenor born in Corseaux-sur-Vevey.[...] He holds the record as the oldest person to make a debut at the Metropolitan Opera, singing the Emperor Altoum from Puccini's Turandot in 1987, aged 84.

Cuénod resides with his life partner, Alfred Augustin (41 years his junior), in the Vaud region of Switzerland, in the Château de Lully, an 18th-century castle that belonged to his ancestors. In January 2007, when Cuénod was aged 104, he and Augustin entered into a civil union after changes in Swiss law gave same-sex couples many of the legal benefits of marriage.

On 26 June 2009, Hugues Cuénod reached the age of 107.'
