EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the grandeur and excitement of "The Opening of the Opera Season, Gounod's Romeo et Juliette" at Covent Garden on 13 May. The scene is filled with anticipation as opera enthusiasts gather in London's prestigious Royal Opera House to witness this spectacular performance. The artist, Samuel Begg, beautifully depicts the opulent interior of Covent Garden, adorned with lavish chandeliers and ornate decorations. The audience members are dressed elegantly in their finest attire, adding to the sense of occasion and sophistication. In the foreground, Monsignor Saleza takes center stage as he conducts the orchestra with great passion and precision. His commanding presence sets the tone for a night filled with musical brilliance. Onstage, we see Romeo and Juliette portrayed by talented performers who bring these iconic characters to life. Their expressions convey intense emotions as they engage in a passionate duet that captivates both their fellow actors and the enraptured audience. Madame Eames shines brightly as she delivers her powerful vocals, enchanting everyone present with her remarkable talent. Gounod's masterful composition fills every corner of this magnificent venue, transporting all those fortunate enough to be in attendance into a world of love, tragedy, and timeless beauty. This engraving serves not only as a visual record but also as an invitation for us to imagine ourselves among those lucky spectators who witnessed this unforgettable opening night at Covent Garden over a century ago.
