Madame Potier as Cecile in Cagliostro: An Opera Sensation of the 19th Century This handcoloured lithograph showcases Madame Anne Suzanne Potier in the title role of Cecile in the opera Cagliostro, which premiered at the Theatre Royale de l'Opera Comique in Paris in 1844. The production, written by Eugène Scribe, was a collaboration between Scribe, the renowned librettist, and Alexandre Lacauchie, the composer. The opera was based on the legendary figure of Cagliostro, an 18th-century Italian alchemist and magician. Madame Potier's portrayal of Cecile in this production was a sensation. Her striking presence and powerful voice left audiences enchanted, adding to the overall success of the opera. The lithograph, created by Victor Dollet and published in Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, captures the essence of the opera and Madame Potier's performance as Cecile. The image depicts Madame Potier in an elegant and ornate costume, adorned with intricate details and rich fabrics. The lithograph also highlights the dramatic lighting and theatrical setting, further emphasizing the operatic nature of the production. The overall effect is a visually stunning representation of the opera world in the mid-19th century. This handcoloured lithograph is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the world of opera during this period. It also serves as a testament to the talent and appeal of Madame Anne Suzanne Potier as a leading opera singer of her time.
