1897 Cyrano Liebig Performed Plays Rostand Tavern
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the 19th century and the world of Edmond Rostand's timeless play, "Cyrano de Bergerac." In this scene from Act Two, Scene Four, Cyrano (played by the renowned French actor Constant Coquelin) and his friend Le Bret (Alphonse Daudet) are seen in a bustling tavern, surrounded by a lively crowd. The year is 1897, and this production, directed by Alexandre Bisson, was one of the most popular and critically acclaimed productions of the time. The scene in the tavern is a pivotal moment in the play, as Cyrano, filled with jealousy and love for Roxane, pens a letter for Christian (played by Jean-Francois Maheu) to express his feelings to her. Le Bret, ever the loyal friend, encourages Cyrano to reveal his own feelings to Roxane, but Cyrano, believing himself unworthy of her love due to his large nose, cannot bring himself to do so. Instead, he hides in the shadows, watching as Christian delivers the letter and Roxane responds with affection. The image captures the tension and emotion of the scene, with Cyrano's intense gaze fixed on Roxane, while Le Bret looks on with concern. The warm, inviting glow of the tavern lights illuminates the faces of the patrons, creating a sense of camaraderie and community. The intricate details of the costumes and set design transport us back in time, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the world of Rostand's classic play. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of live theatre and the ability of a well-crafted story to transport us to another time and place. It is a reminder of the rich history of theatrical performances and the lasting impact they have had on our culture and collective imagination.
