EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a pivotal moment from the revival of the classic ballet "The Corsair" at the prestigious Drury Lane Theatre in London, in 1844. The production was masterfully staged by Ferdinand Albert Decombe, also known as Albert, who breathed new life into this romantic and adventurous tale of piracy and love. At the heart of the scene is the enchanting Mademoiselle Adele Dumilatre, gracefully portraying the seductive and cunning slave girl, Gulnare. With her expressive eyes and fluid movements, Mademoiselle Dumilatre captivates the audience as she weaves her spell over the pirate, Conrad, played by Jules Perrot. The Corsair, a ballet in three acts, was first performed at the Paris Opera in 1837, with choreography by Jules Perrot and Marius Petipa. However, it was Decombe's revival at Drury Lane Theatre that brought the production to new heights, with its elaborate sets, stunning costumes, and exceptional performances. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the history of ballet and the artistry of its performers during the mid-19th century. The image captures the essence of the ballet's exotic and adventurous spirit, as well as the passion and intensity of the performances that left audiences enchanted and enthralled.
