EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the renowned Italian-born conductor and composer, Sir Michael Andrew Angus Costa (1808-1884), in the prime of his career during the Victorian era. The humorous illustration, created in 1882, captures the essence of Costa's distinctive appearance with his bushy whiskers, expressive facial features, and the baton in hand. Costa was a prominent figure in the music world of England during the 1880s, known for his conducting skills and compositions. He was particularly famous for his work with the Covent Garden Opera and the Philharmonic Society. The manuscript score and music sheets scattered around Costa in the caricature suggest his dedication and passion for music. The title "entracte" at the bottom of the image refers to the interlude or intermission music played during a theatrical performance. Costa's conductor's podium, with its ornate design, adds to the grandeur of the scene. This caricature offers a glimpse into the life of a celebrated musician during the late 19th century. Costa's legacy continues to inspire musicians and music lovers around the world, and this playful illustration serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to the world of classical music.
