EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Sarah Bernhardt in the title role of Phaedra, or Phedre, in a production of the classic French melodrama that premiered at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels in 1899. Bernhardt, a legendary actress known for her powerful stage presence and versatile acting abilities, brought new depth and intensity to the tragic character of Phaedre, a queen who is consumed by her forbidden love for her stepson Hippolytus. The image, taken in 1923, shows Bernhardt in the midst of a passionate performance, her expressive face and gesturing hands conveying the turmoil and emotion of the character. Surrounded by her devoted handmaidens, Bernhardt's regal bearing and captivating gaze hold the audience's attention, drawing them into the world of this timeless tragedy. The photograph is a testament to Bernhardt's enduring legacy as one of the greatest actresses in the history of French theatre. The production of Phaedre, based on the play by Jean Racine, was a critical and commercial success, and Bernhardt's portrayal of the titular character is still considered one of the most iconic performances in the history of the role. The image, from the Mary Evans collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when theatre was a vital and transformative art form, and Sarah Bernhardt was at the height of her powers. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a reminder of the enduring power of theatre to move and inspire us.
