EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned opera singer Valere in the title role of the Romantic opera "Robin des Bois" (Robin Hood) by Carl Maria von Weber, performed at the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in Paris during the 1824 season. Valere, a celebrated tenor of his time, brings the legendary outlaw to life with his powerful voice and dramatic acting skills. The illustration, created by Lavigne Marin and published by F. Noel in his collection "Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles" (Portraits of Actors and Actresses in Different Roles), captures Valere's portrayal of Richard, the Marksman, in this iconic production. The image reveals Valere's intense focus and determination as Richard, the skilled archer and defender of the oppressed, poised to shoot an arrow. Carl Maria von Weber's "Der Freischütz" (The Marksman) had already gained significant acclaim with its premiere in 1821, and the adaptation of the opera as "Robin des Bois" further solidified its popularity in the European opera scene. The Theatre Royal de l'Odeon, a prestigious venue for opera and theatre, provided the perfect stage for Valere to showcase his talents and captivate audiences with his portrayal of the beloved character. This exquisite lithograph not only serves as a testament to Valere's exceptional abilities as an opera singer but also highlights the enduring appeal of Carl Maria von Weber's masterpiece and the timeless story of Robin Hood.
