Cornélie Falcon

**Cornélie Falcon** () adalah seorang penyanyi soprano Prancis yang bernyanyi di Opéra di Paris. Kesuksesan terbesarnya adalah menciptakan peran Valentine dalam *[[Les Huguenots]]* Meyerbeer. Dia memiliki "suara yang penuh dan bergema" dengan timbre gelap yang khas dan merupakan aktris yang luar biasa. Berdasarkan peran yang ditulis untuk suaranya, rentang vokalnya berkisar dari A-flat rendah hingga D tinggi, 2,5 oktaf. Dia dan penyanyi tenor Adolphe Nourrit dianggap bertanggung jawab terutama untuk meningkatkan standar artistik di Opéra, dan peran yang dia kuasai kemudian dikenal sebagai bagian "falcon soprano". Dia memiliki karier yang sangat singkat, pada dasarnya berakhir sekitar lima tahun setelah debutnya, ketika pada usia 23 dia kehilangan suaranya selama penampilan Niedermeyer's *[[Stradella (opera)|Stradella]]*.
