EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned opera singer Henri as Bolbaya in the production of "La Sirene" (The Mermaid) at the Theatre Royal de l'Opera Comique in Paris, 1844. The opera, composed by Daniel Auber with a libretto by Eugene Scribe, tells the classic tale of a mermaid who falls in love with a mortal man, leading to tragic consequences. Henri, an acclaimed baritone of his time, masterfully portrays Bolbaya, the sorcerer who attempts to thwart the mermaid's love for the mortal. In this image, Bolbaya is depicted in a grandiose costume, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colours. The detailed illustration, created by Victor Dollet and published in the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris in 1845, captures the essence of the theatrical production and the opulence of the opera world during the mid-19th century. The lithograph also features the names of key figures involved in the production, including Alexandre Lacauchie, Louis Lasalle, and Daniel Auber. This beautiful and historically significant piece offers a glimpse into the rich history of opera and the artistry of its performers during the Romantic era.
