EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures the grandeur and regality of French baritone Paul-Bernard Barroilhet as he portrays the King in L'Étoile de Seville by Michael Balfe. Performed at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris in 1846, this opera production was a major success, and Barroilhet's performance as the King was particularly noteworthy. The image, taken from Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théatres de Paris, showcases Barroilhet's imposing presence and commanding stage presence. Dressed in the opulent and ornate attire of a monarch, Barroilhet exudes confidence and power. The intricate details of his costume, from the rich fabrics to the intricate gold embroidery, are beautifully captured in this lithograph. The illustration, created by Alexandre Lacauchie, masterfully conveys the grandeur and majesty of the opera production. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. Paul-Bernard Barroilhet was a renowned French baritone, known for his powerful voice and expressive performances. His portrayal of the King in L'Étoile de Seville was just one of many memorable roles in his illustrious career. This image serves as a testament to his talent and the impact he had on the world of opera in the mid-19th century.
