EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Paul Barroilhet as Iago in Rossini's Othello (1844): A Masterclass in Dramatic Baritone Singing" This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned French baritone Paul Barroilhet in the pivotal role of Iago from Gioachino Rossini's opera, Othello. The image was produced in 1845, following Barroilhet's performance at the Academie Royale du Musique in Paris. Barroilhet's portrayal of Iago is a testament to his exceptional vocal abilities and acting skills. Iago, a complex and manipulative character, is the primary antagonist in Othello, and Barroilhet's interpretation left an indelible mark on audiences of the time. His intense expression and commanding presence in this lithograph underscore the depth of his performance. The opera Othello, composed by Gioachino Rossini in 1816, is based on Shakespeare's tragic play of the same name. The work is a rare example of a successful collaboration between the worlds of opera and theatre, and Barroilhet's portrayal of Iago is considered one of the most memorable in its history. This lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie and published in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, offers a glimpse into the rich theatrical culture of 19th-century Paris. The intricate details of Barroilhet's costume, as well as the dramatic lighting and stage setting, contribute to the overall sense of grandeur and sophistication. Paul Barroilhet's career spanned over three decades, during which he graced the stages of the most prestigious European opera houses. His interpretation of Iago in Rossini's Othello remains a benchmark for baritone singers and a reminder of the enduring power of opera to captivate and inspire audiences.
