EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment from a performance of Mozart's timeless opera, Don Giovanni, at the esteemed Kings Theatre in 1820. The scene captures the surprise and dismay on the face of King George IV as his wife, Queen Caroline, makes an unexpected entrance as Donna Anna, the scorned fiancée of the titular character. Dressed in the traditional costume of the opera, Queen Caroline's arrival interrupts the wedding feast, where a number of scantily clad women are present, adding to the dramatic tension. George IV, who took on the role of Don Giovanni himself, is shown with a look of shock and embarrassment, as he is exposed before his wife and the entire audience. To his left, Lord Castlereagh, portraying the loyal and long-suffering servant Leporello, holds a lengthy list of the King's past conquests, adding fuel to the fire of Donna Anna's anger. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th century British theatre and the intersection of royal life and the arts. The intrigue and passion of Don Giovanni's story come to life in this vivid and detailed image, making it a must-see for opera lovers and history buffs alike.
