EDITORS COMMENTS
Emmy Destinn: The Melancholic Prima Donna Emmy Destinn, the celebrated Czechoslovakian soprano, graces the cover of The Tatler in this evocative portrait from circa 1910. Known for her powerful and emotive voice, Destinn was a force to be reckoned with in the world of opera. At the height of her career, she was due to perform with the New York Metropolitan operatic company at the Chatelet Theatre in Paris. However, her commitment to the Covent Garden Opera House in London called her away, leaving Parisian audiences eagerly anticipating her arrival. Destinn's moody expression and the atmospheric lighting in this portrait capture the depth and intensity of her character. The smoky background and dramatic shadows add to the sense of mystery and intrigue, while her piercing gaze draws the viewer in. As a prima donna, Destinn was known for her demanding personality and strong will, which only added to her allure. Born in Prague in 1878, Destinn made her operatic debut in 1902 and quickly rose to international fame. She was a soprano with a unique voice and a captivating stage presence, and her performances were often described as electrifying. Despite her success, Destinn was known to be a private and enigmatic figure, and this portrait offers a rare glimpse into her inner world. As the 1910s progressed, Destinn continued to captivate audiences with her powerful performances and unforgettable stage presence. This portrait serves as a testament to her enduring legacy as one of the greatest sopranos of all time.
