EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Ferdinanda Carletti Prospera in the title role of Donizetti's "Fille du Regiment" (The Daughter of the Regiment), first performed in 1840. The historical opera, set in the early 19th century, follows the story of Marie, an orphaned girl raised by a regiment of soldiers. As she grows up, she falls in love with Tonio, a sergeant, but complications arise when the Colonel, who has taken a paternal interest in Marie, intends to marry her to the Duke of Krakenthorp. In this photograph, Carletti Prospera, with her expressive eyes and poised demeanor, embodies the spirit of Marie. Her elegant white gown, adorned with intricate lace and beading, contrasts with the soldiers' uniforms, emphasizing her unique status within the regiment. The image captures a moment of quiet reflection, as Marie contemplates her uncertain future and the conflicting desires of her heart. The "Fille du Regiment" was first performed in 1840, and Carletti Prospera's portrayal of Marie was highly acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. Her vocal prowess and dramatic abilities brought the character to life, making her a beloved figure in the world of opera. This photograph, circa 1850, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and beauty of a bygone era. The image serves as a testament to the enduring power of music and theater to transport us to other worlds and to evoke strong emotions. With its rich history and timeless themes, "Fille du Regiment" remains a cherished work in the operatic repertoire.
