EDITORS COMMENTS
Adolphe Nourrit, the renowned French tenor, is depicted in this handcoloured lithograph as the soldier Tarare in the opera "Tarare" by Antonio Salieri. The image, taken from the Academie Royale de Musique production in 1823, captures Nourrit in the height of his acting prowess as the titular character. Tarare, a Turkish officer, is known for his unwavering loyalty to his love, Gulnare, and his fierce devotion to justice. In this production, Nourrit's portrayal of Tarare was met with critical acclaim, with many praising his ability to convey the character's complex emotions through song. The illustration, produced by F. Noel after an original drawing by Alexandre-Marie Colin, showcases Nourrit in full military regalia, brandishing a scimitar. His intense gaze and muscular physique convey the strength and determination of Tarare, a character known for his fierce loyalty and unyielding spirit. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the opera production to life. Nourrit's career as a tenor spanned over two decades, during which he performed in some of the most prestigious opera houses in Europe. His voice was described as "magnificent" and "unforgettable," and his performances were known to leave audiences in awe. This image serves as a testament to his talent and the impact he had on the world of opera during the 19th century.
