EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of "The New Opera, Manon" performed at Drury-Lane Theatre in 1885. The scene depicted is filled with drama and intrigue, transporting us to a world of passion and tragedy. In the foreground, we see a group of characters engaged in intense conversation. A serjeant holds a letter that seems to hold great importance, while another figure appears to be offering a bribe. This hints at the complex web of deceit and manipulation that unfolds throughout the opera. The setting itself is grand and opulent, reflecting the splendor of Drury-Lane Theatre. The audience's anticipation can almost be felt as they eagerly await the performance to begin. At its heart, this print showcases Madame Marie Roze, an acclaimed opera singer who played the role of Manon. Her powerful presence dominates the stage as she embodies this iconic character torn between love and desire. Surrounding her are other key figures from the story: Lescaut, Des Grieux, and various members of St Sulpice society. Each character adds depth to this tale of forbidden love and tragic consequences. Through Forestier's masterful engraving technique, every detail comes alive - from intricate costumes to expressive facial expressions - allowing us to immerse ourselves in this mesmerizing operatic performance. This print serves as a testament not only to fine art but also to the enduring power of music in evoking emotions within our souls.
