EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned Italian tenor, Italo Gardoni, in the title role of Don Sanche from the opera "L'Étoile de Seville" by Michael Balfe. The production took place at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris during the year 1846. Gardoni's portrayal of Don Sanche, a crusader knight, is depicted in this illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie from Victor Dollets Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris. Don Sanche is a complex character in the opera, known for his jealousy and vengeance towards his brother, Don Fernand, who has usurped the throne of Seville. In this image, Gardoni wears an ornate tunic and armour, embodying the grandeur and power of the crusader knight. The intricate details of the armour, the richness of the fabric, and the intensity in Gardoni's gaze all contribute to the dramatic effect of the image. The opera "L'Étoile de Seville," also known as "The Star of Seville," was first performed in 1836 and was a popular success in Europe. The role of Don Sanche was a significant one, and Gardoni's portrayal was highly acclaimed for its vocal prowess and dramatic intensity. This lithograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Gardoni's performance and the impact it had on the world of opera during the mid-19th century.
