Mlle Caroline Duprez as Catherine in L'Étoile du Nord at the Opera Comique: A Radiant Portrayal of Romantic Opera's Beloved Heroine This exquisite handcolored lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique in 1853, captures the enchanting performance of Caroline Duprez as Catherine in the French opera L'Étoile du Nord (The Star of the North) at the Opera Comique in Paris. Daughter of the renowned French tenor Gilbert-Louis Duprez, Caroline Duprez (1825-1873) followed in her father's footsteps, gracing the stages of Parisian theaters with her captivating voice and magnetic stage presence. In this production of L'Étoile du Nord, Caroline Duprez embodied the title role of Catherine, a character known for her unwavering love and devotion. The opera, composed by Fromental Halévy with a libretto by Eugène Scribe, premiered in 1854 and was a critical success, with Duprez's performance receiving particular acclaim. The intricately detailed lithograph by Lacauchie showcases Duprez's elegant costuming and poised stage presence, as she captivates the audience with her rendition of the iconic aria "Ah! mon Dieu, qu'ai-je fait?". The rich colors and meticulous shading bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the historic Opera Comique in 1850s Paris. This image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of both Caroline Duprez and the French operatic tradition, offering a glimpse into the world of 19th-century theater and the extraordinary talents of its most celebrated performers.
