EDITORS COMMENTS
Mezzo-soprano singer Mlle. Delille, born Octavie Morize, gracefully embodies the character of Gina in this handcoloured lithograph from Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, published in 1845. The image, illustrated by Alexandre Lacauchie, showcases Mlle. Delille's enchanting performance in Giacomo Meyerbeer and Eugène Scribe's opera, La Barcarolle, composed by Daniel Auber for the Opéra-Comique. Dressed in a stunning period costume, Mlle. Delille's portrayal of Gina exudes elegance and emotion. Her expressive facial features and captivating gaze draw the audience into the story, while her elegant posture and poised gestures highlight her exceptional vocal abilities. The intricate details of her elaborate headdress and ornate gown add to the opulence of the production, further emphasizing the grandeur of the operatic world. La Barcarolle, a popular success during its time, premiered on March 12, 1843, at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. The opera, which tells the story of a fisherman who falls in love with a beautiful Venetian woman, features a series of memorable arias and ensembles, including the iconic "Barcarolle" duet between Gina and the fisherman, which showcases Mlle. Delille's impressive vocal range and emotional depth. This exquisite lithograph provides a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French opera and the remarkable talents of Mlle. Delille as Gina. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the image to life, offering a captivating reminder of the beauty and artistry of the operatic stage.
