The image, created by the skilled hand of Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris in 1852, offers a glimpse into the rich history of 19th-century opera and the illustrious career of one of its most celebrated performers. Born in 1832, Caroline Duprez made her debut on the operatic stage in the role of Amina in Vincenzo Bellini's "La Sonnambula" in 1850. Her exceptional vocal abilities and dramatic presence quickly earned her acclaim and established her as a leading soprano of her time. In "Marco Spada," she portrayed the character of Angela, a woman torn between her love for the titular character and her loyalty to her father. The lithograph captures the intensity and emotion of Duprez's performance, with her expressive face and dramatic pose conveying the turmoil of her character. The intricately detailed costume, complete with a flowing red gown and a white veil, further enhances the visual impact of the image. The backdrop of the Opera Comique stage adds an authentic touch, transporting the viewer back in time to witness a moment in the storied history of opera. This exquisite handcolored lithograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Mlle Caroline Duprez and her unforgettable portrayal of Angela in "Marco Spada." It serves as a reminder of the power of music and the arts to captivate and inspire audiences, even as the sands of time continue to pass.
