director. She was the director of the La Monnaie in Brussels from 1743
to 1745. She shared the position jointly with Charles Plante.Jeanne
Belhomme was commonly known simply as "Demoiselle Belhomme". She was
initially engaged as an actress at the La Monnaie. During the 1730s,
she was listed with a salary of $800, which placed her among the elite
of the actors of the theater. When the director Joseph Uriot resigned
in 1743, she resumed the position of director and manager of the
theater La Monnaie in partnership with her colleague, Charles Plante.
This was an unstable period in the history of the theater, and few
directors managed to handle the post very long. In 1745, Belhomme and
Plante resigned their co-directorship to Nicolini.
