EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcolored lithograph, Soprano singer Marie-Charlotte Lemercier is depicted in the role of Nathalie in L'Étoile du Nord at the Opera Comique. The image, created by renowned French lithographer Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris in 1853, showcases Lemercier's striking presence on stage. Marie-Charlotte Lemercier (1827-1883) was a celebrated soprano singer of the 19th century, known for her sweet and flexible voice. However, her demeanor on stage did not always align with the refined and graceful manners expected of an opera singer of her time. In contrast to her younger sister, Mlle. Betty (or Mademoiselle Beaussire), Lemercier's stage presence was more raw and passionate, which added to her allure and unique charm. In this portrayal of Nathalie in L'Étoile du Nord, Lemercier's expressive face and animated body language convey the intensity and emotion of her character. The intricately detailed costume, complete with a flowing cape and ornate headdress, further emphasizes the grandeur and opulence of the opera production. Lacauchie's masterful use of color and shading brings the image to life, capturing the essence of the opera house and the magic of live performance. This historical print offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French opera and the captivating artistry of Marie-Charlotte Lemercier.
