EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the enchanting performance of French mezzo-soprano Marie-Julienne Boulanger (1786-1850) as the titular character Rose in Daniel Auber's opera "Emma, ou la Promesse imprudente" at the Feydeau room of the Opera Comique in Paris, 1821. The image, published in Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles, offers a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the 19th-century Parisian opera scene. Boulanger's expressive face and captivating gaze convey the depth of emotion required for the role of Rose, a character known for her imprudent promises and the consequences that follow. The intricate details of her elaborate costume, complete with a voluminous skirt, shimmering bodice, and ornate headdress, further emphasize the grandeur of the production. The Feydeau room at the Opera Comique was renowned for its intimate and elegant atmosphere, providing the perfect setting for this romantic opera. "Emma, ou la Promesse imprudente" was a popular success, with Boulanger's performance as Rose earning critical acclaim and cementing her reputation as a leading mezzo-soprano of her time. This engraving not only showcases the beauty and talent of Marie-Julienne Boulanger but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of French opera and the art of handcoloured copperplate engravings.
