EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne-Benoite-Louise Lavoye, a renowned French soprano, graces the stage as Zerlina in the opera "La Sirene" (The Siren) at the Theatre Royal de L'Opera Comique in Paris, 1844. In this handcoloured lithograph, Lavoye's radiant presence shines through as she dons an elegant and flowing costume designed by Alexandre Lacauchie. The opera, composed by Daniel-Francois-Esprit Auber with a libretto by Eugene Scribe, tells the story of a fisherman who falls in love with the beautiful Zerlina, unaware that she is a siren who lures sailors to their deaths. The illustration, created by Victor Dollet, captures the enchanting moment as Zerlina sings to the fisherman, her voice seductive and alluring. The intricate details of her costume, from the delicate floral patterns to the shimmering fabric, add to the magical atmosphere of the scene. The lithograph, published in the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of 19th-century French opera. Anne Lavoye's performance as Zerlina was undoubtedly a highlight of the production, leaving audiences spellbound by her captivating voice and enchanting stage presence.
