Soloist has her cellist stolen … twice

Soloist has her cellist stolen … twice

The French cellist Ophélie Gaillard had her 1737 Goffriller instrument stolen in Paris in 2018, then mysteriously returned – left in a car under the window of her home.

This time was much worse.

‘Thieves came at night between three and five in the morning while we were sleeping,’ she told France-Musique. They also took two valuable bows, an 1825 Jean-Marie Persoit and an 1860 Nicolas Maire. The cello is valued at around $1.5 million.
