EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by the renowned French artist Eugène Delacroix, titled "Théâtre Italien. Rossini soutenant Manuel Garcia dans Otello, Mme Fodor dans Rosine et... 1821," offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century European opera and ballet. The image, held in the esteemed collection of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, masterfully captures a moment from two different productions staged at the Théâtre Italien in Paris during the year 1821. At the center of the composition, the legendary Italian composer Gioachino Rossini is depicted in the act of supporting Manuel Garcia, who portrayed Otello in the eponymous opera. Rossini's presence underscores the significance of the performance, as he was not only a prolific composer but also the artistic director of the Théâtre Italien at the time. To the right, we find the captivating Joséphine Fodor, who graced the stage as Rosina in Rossini's beloved comic opera, "The Barber of Seville." The juxtaposition of these two productions – one a tragic opera and the other a comic opera – highlights the diverse repertoire of the Théâtre Italien during this period. The intriguing figure of Felice Pellegrini, who appeared as Figaro in "The Barber of Seville," can also be spotted in the background, adding another layer of intrigue to this vibrant scene. Delacroix's masterful use of line and tone brings the energy and excitement of the theatre to life, providing a captivating snapshot of the operatic world during the early 19th century.
