Anne-Antoinette-Cécile Clavel, better known by her stage name Madame Saint-Huberty or Saint-Huberti (15 December 1756 in Strasbourg – 22 July 1812 in Barnes, London), was a celebrated French operatic soprano whose career extended from c. 1774 until 1790. After her retirement from the stage and the publicising of her second marriage, she was also known as the Comtesse d'Antraigues[1] from around 1797. She and her husband were murdered in England.
