EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned French soprano, Marie Caroline Miolan-Carvalho, in the iconic role of Marguerite in Charles Gounod's Faust at the Theatre de l'Opéra in Paris during the 1870s. Dressed in an elaborate Bashkir costume, Carvalho exudes an ethereal beauty and grace as she captivates Faust with her enchanting charm. The intricately designed Baskirian attire, complete with a voluminous skirt, ornate headdress, and intricate beading, adds to the allure of the character and the magical atmosphere of the opera. Carvalho's portrayal of Marguerite was a sensation during her time, and her exceptional vocal abilities and captivating stage presence made her a star among the opera world. This stunning lithograph, published by Martinet in Paris, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the 19th-century opera scene and the elaborate costumes that were an integral part of the production. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the intricate beading on Carvalho's costume to the ornate stage setting and the expressive facial features of the characters, transport us back in time and allow us to experience the magic of the opera as it was meant to be seen. This beautiful work of art is not only a testament to Carvalho's talent as a singer and actress but also to the artistry of the lithographer, A. Morlon, who brought this enchanting moment to life through his masterful use of colour and detail.
