EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting presence of Lily Elsie as Sonia in the 1907 production of Lehár's beloved operetta, "The Merry Widow." Dressed in an exquisite Edwardian costume, Elsie's portrayal of the merry widow, Hanna Glawari, became synonymous with elegance and allure. The deep-crowned hat she dons in this image, adorned with voluminous tulle and striking ostrich plumes, became a symbol of her character and a fashion sensation of the time. The intricately designed hat, reminiscent of the opulence of the Belle Époque era, adds an air of sophistication to Elsie's regal profile. The delicate tulle fabric cascades down the hat's sides, creating a dreamlike effect that complements the rich textures and colors of her costume. The ostrich plumes, with their elegant curves and feathery softness, add a playful and whimsical touch to the overall ensemble. Elsie's portrayal of Sonia in "The Merry Widow" was a critical and commercial success, and her iconic hat became a symbol of the operetta's enduring popularity. This photograph, taken in 1907, captures a moment in time when music, fashion, and theatrical artistry came together to create an unforgettable experience for audiences. The hat, with its deep crown, decorative tulle, and ostrich plumes, became a fashion statement that transcended the stage, inspiring women of the time to adopt similar hats as part of their everyday attire. This image of Lily Elsie as Sonia, with her captivating smile and stunning hat, remains a testament to the power of music, costumes, and accessories to evoke emotion and inspire creativity.
