Aug17 Bouquet Drawn Entertainer Opera Sheet Singer Weston Musical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite music sheet cover, titled "The Musical Bouquet: Bellini's La Sonnambula," dates back to circa 1876 and showcases an enchanting illustration of an opera singer in the midst of a mesmerizing performance. The illustration, drawn by F. Weston, captures the essence of the 1870s entertainment scene with its ornate details and theatrical flair. La Sonnambula, a beloved opera by the renowned Italian composer Vincenzo Bellini, premiered in 1831 and has since captivated audiences with its hauntingly beautiful melodies and compelling storyline. The opera's central character, Amina, is a young woman who is in love with Elvino but is unaware that he is also in love with her. In a series of dramatic events, Amina is mistaken for a thief and is pursued by the townspeople. To escape, she takes refuge in Elvino's bedchamber, where she falls into a deep sleep. Elvino, believing her to be a thief, tries to wake her, but she remains unconscious. In the morning, Elvino realizes his mistake and confesses his love to Amina, who forgives him. The illustration on this music sheet cover depicts Amina in the role of the sleepwalker, her eyes closed in deep slumber as she holds a bouquet of flowers. The intricate details of her costume, the delicate folds of her gown, and the softness of her expression all contribute to the dreamlike quality of the image. The use of pastel colors and the delicate brushwork further enhance the ethereal atmosphere, making this music sheet cover a true work of art. This illustration invites us to step back in time and experience the magic of Bellini's La Sonnambula, a timeless masterpiece that continues to enchant audiences around the world.
