EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the renowned French tenor opera singer, Jean Elleviou (1769-1842), in the role of Pierrot from the comic opera "Le Tableau parlant" by André Gretry. The image, taken from Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles published by Louis Janet in Paris in 1820, captures Elleviou's expressive and dramatic performance at the Theatre Feydeau. Elleviou, known for his versatility as both a tenor and baritone, graced the stages of Parisian theaters with his powerful voice and captivating stage presence. In "Le Tableau parlant," he embodied the character of Pierrot, a beloved figure from the commedia dell'arte tradition. The opera, which premiered in 1775, was a popular success and showcased the comedic and musical talents of its cast. The intricately detailed engraving highlights Elleviou's elegant costume, complete with a white shirt, red vest, and black trousers, as well as his expressive facial features and dramatic pose. The use of hand-coloring adds a vibrant and lively quality to the image, further emphasizing the theatricality of the production. This engraving is a testament to Elleviou's enduring legacy as one of the most celebrated opera singers of his time and to the continued popularity of "Le Tableau parlant" as a beloved work of French operatic history.
