EDITORS COMMENTS
I Masnadieri," a riveting opera by Giuseppe Verdi, made its debut in London's Her Majesty's Theatre in July 1847. This particular photograph captures the sixth scene of the production, featuring two of the most renowned operatic artists of the time: Swedish soprano Jenny Lind and Italian bass Luigi Lablache. Verdi's "I Masnadieri," based on Alexandre Dumas' play "The Robbers," tells the story of a band of robbers and their complex relationships. The sixth scene is a pivotal moment in the opera, where the characters' emotions reach a boiling point. In this image, Jenny Lind, known as the "Swedish Nightingale," is depicted in the midst of her powerful performance. Her expressive face and outstretched arms convey the intensity of her character's emotions. Lablache, an accomplished bass, stands by her side, his stern expression adding to the dramatic tension of the scene. The production, however, was not met with the same level of enthusiasm as its performers. "I Masnadieri" received a cool reception from London audiences, with some critics panning the opera for its dark and complex themes. Despite the mixed reviews, this photograph serves as a testament to the undeniable talent and passion of Lind and Lablache, who continued to captivate audiences with their performances in subsequent productions. This historical photograph, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of opera and the enduring legacy of two of its most celebrated artists.
