EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle. Alphonsine, born Jeanne Benoit, enchants the audience as the ethereal Princess Castorine in the fairy spectacle "Les Cinq Cents Diables" (The Five Hundred Devils) at the Theatre de la Gaite in Paris, 1860. The 21-year-old actress and singer, who also performed under the stage name Mlle. Fleury, captivated audiences with her grace and vocal prowess. "Les Cinq Cents Diables," a creation of the renowned playwrights Dumanoir and Dennery, was a visually stunning production filled with elaborate costumes and magical effects. The handcolored lithograph by Alexandre Lacauchie, from the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris 1854, offers a glimpse into the enchanting world of this theatrical masterpiece. Princess Castorine, a fairy queen, graces the stage in a flowing, diaphanous gown adorned with stars and moon motifs, her long, golden hair cascading down her back. Her regal bearing and serene expression convey the mystical power and grace of her character. The intricate details of her headdress, adorned with pearls and feathers, add to the ethereal allure of the Princess. Mlle. Alphonsine's performance as Princess Castorine was a testament to her talent and versatility as an actress. Her ability to embody the magical and otherworldly nature of the fairy queen captivated audiences and cemented her place as a beloved figure in the Parisian theatrical scene. This image serves as a reminder of the enchanting world of 19th-century French theatre and the extraordinary talents of its performers.
