EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a hand-colored lithograph depicting a page from the pastiche opera "Robert Bruce" by Gioachino Rossini, performed at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris in 1846. The page, adorned in elaborate attire, is shown holding an English lion heraldic shield, adding to the grandeur of the production. The pastiche opera "Robert Bruce" was a revival of an earlier work by Rossini, originally composed for the Teatro San Carlo in Naples in 1811. The opera was set against the backdrop of Scottish history, with the title character, Robert Bruce, leading his people to victory against the English. The illustration, created by Alexandre Lacauchie for Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris," provides a glimpse into the elaborate costumes and sets that would have graced the Parisian stage during the mid-19th century. The page's attire is reminiscent of the heraldic symbols and regal motifs commonly associated with Scottish culture, further emphasizing the historical setting of the opera. The lithograph, produced by Louis Lasalle, masterfully captures the intricate details of the page's costume, from the rich fabrics and embroidery to the intricate heraldic design on the shield. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, transporting viewers back in time to the grandeur of the Parisian opera house during the mid-19th century. Overall, this image is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that went into producing a theatrical production during this era, and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of Rossini's operas and the rich history of the Parisian opera scene.
