Mlle Zoe Prevost as Mathea in La Sirene, 1844: A Vision of Ethereal Beauty and Dramatic Passion This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the enchanting presence of Mlle Zoe Prevost as she embodies the role of Mathea in the 1844 production of La Sirene at the Theatre Royal de l'Opéra Comique in Paris. Composed by Daniel Auber and with a libretto by Eugène Scribe, La Sirene is a romantic opera that tells the story of the mermaid Mathea, who falls in love with a mortal fisherman. Mlle Prevost's portrayal of Mathea is a breathtaking blend of ethereal beauty and dramatic passion. In this image, captured by the skilled hand of Victor Dollet, we see Mathea in her mermaid form, her flowing hair cascading around her as she gazes longingly at the fisherman she loves. The intricate details of her costume, designed by Alexandre Lacauchie and brought to life through the masterful art of handcolouring, add an extra layer of magic to the scene. The Theatre Royal de l'Opéra Comique was a renowned stage for opera and theatrical productions in 19th century Paris. This lithograph is a testament to the talent and artistry of those involved in bringing La Sirene to life, and a reminder of the captivating performances that graced its stage. Mlle Zoe Prevost's portrayal of Mathea continues to inspire and enchant audiences, and this image offers a glimpse into the world of opera and theatrical performance during a bygone era.
