EDITORS COMMENTS
Leonard Hermann-Leon, a renowned baritone opera singer of the 19th century, is depicted in this stunning handcolored lithograph as the drum-major Gritzenko in the opera "Etoile du Nord" (The Star of the North). The image, created by the talented Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris in 1853, captures Hermann-Leon's commanding presence and theatrical flair. Dressed in the traditional uniform of a drum-major, Hermann-Leon exudes confidence and authority with his tall hat angled at a rakish angle, baton raised high, and a determined look in his eyes. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the lithograph bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the grand opera houses of Paris during the mid-19th century. The opera "Etoile du Nord," with its elaborate costumes and dramatic performances, was a popular production during this period. Hermann-Leon's portrayal of Gritzenko, a character known for his military prowess and devotion to the cause, would have been a highlight of the production. The singer's powerful baritone voice and expressive acting would have brought the character to life, leaving audiences in awe. This beautiful handcolored lithograph is a testament to the rich history of opera and the artists who brought these productions to life. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and talent of Leonard Hermann-Leon and the other performers who graced the stages of Paris during this era.
