EDITORS COMMENTS
Marguerite Chapuy, a celebrated French soprano, graces this stunning handcoloured lithograph as she embodies the character of Micaela in Georges Bizet's iconic opera, Carmen. The image captures a pivotal moment from the production, which premiered at the Theatre de l'Opera Comique in Paris in 1875. Marguerite Chapuy's elegant and captivating portrayal of Micaela, the innocent and devoted girl in love with the soldier Don Jose, is brought to life in this exquisite print. She is depicted in an elegant, flowing white dress, adorned with delicate floral patterns, holding a bouquet of roses. Her expressive face and poised posture convey the depth of her emotions, adding to the allure of the opera's intricate storyline. Surrounding Marguerite Chapuy are the musketeers, Des Mousquetaires, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and helmets. Morlon, the sutler, stands nearby, dressed in a vibrant red jacket and holding a tray of food and drink. The vivandiere, also present, adds to the lively atmosphere of the scene. This beautiful lithograph, published by Martinet in Paris, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the opera world during the late 19th century. The intricate details and vivid colors bring the stage to life, transporting viewers back in time to the masquerade ball or a grand performance at the Theatre de l'Opera Comique. Marguerite Chapuy's career as a singer, dancer, and actress spanned over three decades, making her one of the most beloved and celebrated stars of her time. Her portrayal of Micaela in Carmen remains a testament to her extraordinary talent and the enduring appeal of Bizet's groundbreaking opera.
