EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases Antoinette Revilly in the role of Fanchette from the French opera "Le Trompette de M. Le Prince," performed at the Theatre Royal de l'Opéra Comique in Paris during 1846. The image, created by Francois Bazin after an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, is taken from Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris. Antoinette Revilly (1818-1890) was a renowned French soprano who graced the stages of Parisian theaters with her exceptional vocal abilities and enchanting stage presence. In this production of "Le Trompette de M. Le Prince," she embodied the character of Fanchette, a young and innocent maiden who falls in love with the titular character, a valet in the service of the Prince. The opera, composed by Adolphe Adam, premiered in 1844 and was a popular success, with numerous revivals throughout the 19th century. The lithograph captures the essence of Fanchette's character, as she is depicted in a simple yet elegant costume, holding a bouquet of flowers and gazing lovingly at the figure of Le Prince. The intricate details of the hand-coloring bring the image to life, making it a stunning representation of the opera world during the mid-19th century. This lithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, providing a glimpse into the world of French opera and the captivating performances of its leading stars, such as Antoinette Revilly as Fanchette.
