Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges (December 25, 1745-June 9, 1799) was an Afro-Caribbean French composer, violinist, fencer & political activist. Despite the racism of the era, he was extremely well regarded. During French Revolution he turned to politics and activism before dying young at age 53. Infuriatingly, his works were marginalized after his death due to racism. BUT have received renewed interest and acclaim in the past few decades

Despite doing voice lessons for the role, Co-leading lady Samara Weaving did not do all of her own singing in the film. She’s partially dubbed by British soprano Grace Davidson.

Fact Checking “Chevalier” (2022)
1) It was King Louis XV NOT Queen Marie Antoinette who bestowed his title upon him
2)it’s debated if he had a child since he died having never married
3) the film doesn’t show it but Chevalier was jailed for about a year for being a counter-revolutionary & abolitionist after The French Revolution
4) Despite knowing and hating each other, the violin duel between Mozart and Chevalier probably didn’t happen
