EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne-Benoite-Louise Lavoye, a renowned French soprano, graces the stage as Mlle. de Solange in the comic opera "Les Mousquetaires de la Reine" by Fromental Halevy. This handcoloured lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie and published in Victor Dollets' "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris" in 1846, offers a glimpse into the elaborate theatrical world of the time. Mlle. de Solange, a character from Halevy's popular opera, is depicted in this image in an elegant and sophisticated costume, complete with a flowing white gown, a lace shawl, and a feathered headdress. Her expressive face and gesturing hand convey the emotion and drama of the role she is portraying. The Theatre Royal de l'Opera Comique in Paris was the setting for this production, and the lithograph captures the opulence and grandeur of the opera house. The intricate details of the stage design, including the ornate curtains, gilded columns, and ornamental archways, add to the sense of occasion and spectacle. The comic opera "Les Mousquetaires de la Reine," with its lively music and engaging characters, was a favorite among audiences in the mid-19th century. Anne-Benoite-Louise Lavoye's portrayal of Mlle. de Solange was undoubtedly a highlight of the production, and this striking image serves as a testament to her talent and the enduring appeal of operatic performance.
