EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned tenor singer, Alexandre Marie Lecomte, in the iconic role of Count Almaviva from Gioachino Rossini's timeless opera, Le Barbier de Seville (The Barber of Seville). The image, taken from the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in Paris during the 1823 production, was beautifully rendered by the skilled lithographer F. Noel, based on an illustration by Lavigne Marin. Lecomte's portrayal of Almaviva is both dashing and mischievous, as he dons the disguise of a drunken soldier to win the heart of the spirited Rosina. His expressive face and animated gestures convey the character's determination and charm, while his elegant costume adds to the theatrical allure. The intricate details of the handcolouring technique bring the image to life, adding depth and vibrancy to the stage setting and the actors' costumes. The lithograph is a testament to the artistry of both the performer and the artists involved in its creation. Le Barbier de Seville, first performed in 1816, remains a beloved staple of the operatic repertoire, and Lecomte's portrayal of Almaviva continues to inspire and delight audiences to this day. This exquisite lithograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in 1823 and allowing us to witness the magic of a legendary performance.
