Scene from "Anna Bolena", at Her Majestys Theatre, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Scene from " Anna Bolena", at Her Majestys Theatre, 1844. Opera by Donizetti, performed in London by Giulia Grisi, Luigi Lablache and Luciano Mariani: No man can better express the tender abandonments of the soul to love, hope, or joy, than Moriani, while, on the other hand, frenzy and despair he can depict with equal truth, but with more thrilling energy...perhaps he was a little enfeebled in voice from previous over-exertion, but his energetic action was still unfailing, which, joined to Lablaches hauteur and Grisis earnest indignation, formed a tableau of dramatic beauty...The costumes of this scene cannot be too highly extolled for their splendour and accuracy - that of Lablache particularly made him stand forth as " bluff Harry" [King Henry VIII] himself.From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the opera "Anna Bolena" performed at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1844. The creator of this stunning image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the essence of the performance is undeniable. The opera, composed by Domenico Gaetano Maria Donizetti, featured an exceptional cast including Giulia Grisi, Luigi Lablache, and Luciano Mariani. The reviewer praises Mariani's ability to express tender emotions such as love, hope, and joy with unparalleled authenticity. His portrayal of frenzy and despair is equally powerful and evocative. Lablache's commanding presence on stage complements Grisi's earnest indignation beautifully, creating a tableau of dramatic beauty that captivates the audience. The costumes worn by the performers are highly praised for their splendor and accuracy; particularly noteworthy is Lablache's attire that transforms him into King Henry VIII himself. This engraving was originally published in the Illustrated London News in 1844. It provides us with a glimpse into the vibrant entertainment scene of 19th-century Britain. The photo immortalizes not only the talented individuals involved but also showcases the grandeur of Her Majesty's Theatre. While we may never know who precisely captured this momentous occasion on film, we can appreciate their skillful composition that transports us back to a time when opera reigned supreme as one of society's most cherished forms of entertainment.
