Bori, Lucrezia: A Captivating Portrait of a 1930s Opera Singer This evocative black and white portrait captures Lucrezia Bori, a renowned Spanish soprano, as she prepares for a performance in the United States during the 1930s. Taken on April 6, 1932, by the acclaimed American photographer Arnold Genthe, this image offers a glimpse into the world of opera and the glamour of the era. Bori is depicted in her dressing room, seated in front of a hand mirror, carefully examining her reflection. Her elegant attire, consisting of a long, flowing dress and a stylish hat, exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. The intricate details of her dress, from the delicate fabric to the intricate beading, are beautifully captured in the nitrate negative. The image also reveals the singer's introspective and focused nature, as she gazes intently at her reflection, lost in thought. The use of a mirror adds an element of intrigue and mystery, as well as a sense of theatricality. Lucrezia Bori was a prominent figure in the world of opera during the early 20th century. Born in Spain, she began her career in Europe before moving to the United States, where she became a popular and successful singer. She was known for her stunning voice and her ability to captivate audiences with her performances. This portrait is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 1930s and the enduring allure of the opera. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical images, which offer valuable insights into the past and provide a window into the lives of those who came before us.
