1. Title: "Adolphe Nourrit as Alamede in Ipsiboe by Rodolphe Kreutzer: A Captivating Portrayal of French Opera's Beloved Tenor This exquisite handcoloured lithograph, created by F. Noel after an illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin, immortalizes the renowned French tenor, Adolphe Nourrit, in his iconic role as Alamede in Ipsiboe by Rodolphe Kreutzer. The image was produced in 1825 for the publication "Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles." Adolphe Nourrit (1802-1839) was a celebrated singer of the Romantic era, known for his remarkable vocal abilities and captivating stage presence. In this portrait, he is depicted in the title role of Ipsiboe, an opera by Rodolphe Kreutzer, which premiered at the Académie Royale de Musique in Paris in 1824. The opera, with a libretto by Jean-François Marmontel, was a critical and commercial success, and Nourrit's performance as Alamede was hailed as a triumph. The lithograph captures the intensity and passion of Nourrit's portrayal of Alamede, a character torn between love and duty. The tenor's expressive face, combined with his dramatic gestures, convey the depth of emotion required for the role. The intricate details of his costume, complete with the distinctive feathered hat and flowing cape, further enhance the authenticity of the image. This portrait not only serves as a testament to Adolphe Nourrit's extraordinary talent but also offers a glimpse into the world of French opera during the Romantic era. The collaboration between F. Noel, Alexandre-Marie Colin, and Jean-Baptiste Lavigne Marin resulted in a work of art that continues to captivate audiences and inspire admiration more than 190 years after its creation.
