The image, titled "Mme. Marguerite Ugalde as La Tonelli," captures the essence of her captivating performance as the character La Tonelli. Born in 1824, Mme Ugalde made her operatic debut at the age of 18, quickly rising to fame for her exceptional vocal abilities and enchanting stage presence. Her career flourished at the Opera Comique, where she performed in various productions, including "La Fille du Régiment" and "La Vestale."
