EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned soprano, Clarisse Sainte-Foy, in the role of Denise from the opera "Les Deux Gentilhommes" at the Theatre de l'Opera Comique in Paris, 1844. The production was led by Justin Cadaux and featured Sainte-Foy in the iconic milkmaid costume designed by Charles Louis Lasalle. The image is based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, as published in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris. Clarisse Sainte-Foy (1817-1884) was a celebrated French soprano, known for her exceptional vocal abilities and captivating stage presence. In this portrayal of Denise, she embodies the character's innocence and grace, with her expressive face and delicate pose. The intricate details of her costume, from the traditional milkmaid apron to the floral headdress, add to the authenticity of the scene. "Les Deux Gentilhommes," a comic opera in three acts by Adolphe Adam, premiered at the Salle Favart in Paris on January 14, 1844. The production was a great success, with Sainte-Foy's performance as Denise being particularly notable. This lithograph serves as a testament to her talent and the enduring appeal of this classic opera production.
