EDITORS COMMENTS
Bataille as Peters: A Striking Portrayal of History in Music and Theatre This handcoloured lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie in 1853 for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, showcases the renowned bass opera singer, Charles-Amable Battaille (1822-1872), in the enchanting role of Peter the Great, also known as Peters. Battaille's powerful voice and commanding stage presence brought historical figures to life, making him a beloved performer in the Parisian opera scene. In this image, Battaille's regal demeanor and imposing stature perfectly embody the spirit of Peter the Great, the legendary Russian Tsar who ruled from 1682 to 1725. Known for his military prowess, architectural achievements, and modernization efforts, Peter the Great is a significant figure in Russian history. Battaille's portrayal of Peter the Great in the opera "L'Étoile du Nord" (The Star of the North) was a testament to his versatility and talent as an actor and singer. The intricate details of his elaborate costume, from the fur-trimmed mantle to the ornate sash, further enhance the historical authenticity of the performance. This striking image not only showcases Battaille's exceptional talent but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of opera and theatre in 19th-century Paris. The handcoloured lithograph is a beautiful reminder of the power of music and the stage to transport audiences to different times and places.
