EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned French tenor, Gilbert Duprez, in the title role of Donizetti's opera "Dom Sebastien" at the Theatre de l'Opéra in Paris during the 1843 season. Duprez, known for his powerful and expressive voice, brought the tragic character of King Sebastião of Portugal to life on the stage, leaving audiences in awe. The intricately detailed costume design, illustrated by Victor Dollet and published in the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris, highlights the grandeur and elegance of the opera production. The elaborate costume, designed by Alexandre Lacauchie and Louis Lasalle, features a richly embroidered red velvet robe and a golden crown adorned with pearls and precious stones, reflecting the regal status of the king. The lithograph also captures the intensity and emotion in Duprez's facial expression, adding to the dramatic effect of the scene. This beautiful and historic image offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century opera and the extraordinary talent of Gilbert Duprez.
