EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned baritone opera singer, Leonard Hermann-Leon, in the role of Captain Roland in the opera "Les Mousquetaires de la Reine" (The Musketeers of the Queen) by Fromental Halevy. The production was staged at the Theatre Royale de l'Opera Comique in Paris during the 1854 season. Leonard Hermann-Leon (1814-1858) was a celebrated singer of his time, known for his powerful voice and expressive performances. In this image, he is depicted in the iconic costume of Captain Roland, a character from the popular opera based on Alexandre Dumas' novel "The Three Musketeers." The lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie and published in Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris," offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Parisian opera scene during the mid-19th century. The elaborate uniform of Captain Roland, complete with a plumed hat, sash, and sword, is beautifully rendered in intricate detail. The setting for this production of "Les Mousquetaires de la Reine" was particularly noteworthy, as it marked the return of the opera to the Theatre Royale de l'Opera Comique after a long absence. The theatre had undergone extensive renovations, and the production was a triumphant celebration of its reopening. This stunning lithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, capturing the essence of a memorable performance by a legendary singer in a beloved opera production.
