EDITORS COMMENTS
A Stunning Silhouette of Mme. Lily Pons: The Tiny French Prima Donna who Enchanted Covent Garden with her Performance as Rosina in Il Barbiere di Siviglia in 1935 This exquisite silhouette captures the essence of Mme. Lily Pons, the petite French soprano who graced the stage of Covent Garden in May 1935, singing the leading role of Rosina in Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia. The image, taken from a newspaper publication by Illustrated London News Ltd, showcases the elegance and grace of this remarkable woman, whose talent and charisma left a lasting impression on her audience. Mme. Pons, a woman of small stature but immense vocal power, was a beloved figure in the world of opera during the 1930s. Her performance as Rosina, a young woman who falls in love with a count disguised as a barber, was a highlight of the season, and her rendition of the famous aria "Una voce poco fa" was met with thunderous applause. The Duke and Duchess of York were among the many distinguished guests in attendance at this performance, and their presence added to the glamour and excitement of the evening. The silhouette of Mme. Pons, with her flowing hair and elegant gown, encapsulates the glamour and sophistication of the opera house during this era. This paper cut is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, when the world of opera was a place of enchantment and wonder, and where the voices of great singers like Mme. Lily Pons could transport audiences to another world. This silhouette is not only a tribute to the artistry of Mme. Pons, but also to the enduring power of music to captivate and inspire.
