EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the comic opera "Zemire and Azor" written by Andre Gretry in 1771. The opera, based on the timeless tale of Beauty and the Beast, was first performed at Fontainebleau on November 9th, 1771, followed by a performance at the Comedie-Italienne in Paris on December 16th of the same year. In this enchanting image, we see a captivating moment from the performance. A female opera singer takes center stage, dressed in an exquisite costume that reflects the fashion of eighteenth-century France. Her expressive acting draws us into her character's journey as she interacts with other performers who bring this story to life. The print is part of "La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles". Volume III edited by F Roy and published by A Challamel in Saint-Antoine between 1882-1884. It showcases not only the beauty of French performing arts but also provides insight into historical dress and entertainment during this period. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to a time when theater was one of society's most cherished forms of amusement. The talent displayed by these actors reminds us why storytelling has always been such an integral part of human culture.
