EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white cabinet photo captures a scene from the 1892 production of "La Statue du Commandeur" or "Don Juan Up to Date". The photograph, taken by Alfred Ellis, showcases the talented actors who brought this wordless play to life on the stage. In the forefront stands M. Courtes, portraying the character of Sganarelle with great intensity and expression. His body language suggests both fear and curiosity as he interacts with Don Juan and the statue behind him. The role of Don Juan is played by M. Burguet, exuding charm and charisma that perfectly embodies this legendary seducer. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the imposing figure of the Statue, portrayed by M. Tarride. With its stern gaze and commanding presence, it adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The collaboration between playwrights Paul Eudel and Evariste Mangin, along with composer Adolphe David's music, created a truly unique theatrical experience for audiences in London's Prince of Wales Theatre in June 1892. Ellis' expertise in capturing theatrical moments shines through in this photograph. Each actor's emotions are frozen in time, allowing viewers to imagine themselves immersed in this dramatic world where Mozart's music meets Molière's iconic characters. This print serves as a testament to both artistic collaboration and timeless storytelling that continues to captivate audiences even today.
