EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate stage machinery used for operas at the historic San Salvatore theatre in Venice. Created by an anonymous Italian School artist in the 17th century, this pen and ink wash on paper captures the essence of theatrical production during that time. The image depicts a detailed diagram of the stage machinery designed for two opera productions: Adone in Cipro and Germanico sul Reno. These operas were written by Giulio Cesare Corradi with music composed by Giovanni Legrenzi. The elaborate set designs, complete with clouds, rafters, beams, rigging, and scaffolds, demonstrate the complexity involved in bringing these grand spectacles to life. The drawing provides a glimpse into both the technical aspects of staging an opera as well as its artistic vision. It highlights how weather conditions and meteorology were considered even back then to create realistic cloud formations on stage. Preserved at Bibliotheque de l'Opera Garnier in Paris, France, this piece offers a fascinating insight into historical theater production techniques. Its inclusion within eArchives Charmet ensures that it can be appreciated by art enthusiasts worldwide.
