EDITORS COMMENTS
Dr. Syntax, the beloved character created by English satirist and illustrator William Combe, is seen here in an enchanting moment behind the scenes at the opera house in London during the year 1820. The doctor, dressed in a magnificent feathered headdress and ornate costume, is deep in conversation with a group of performers. His expressive face is a picture of fascination as he takes in the sights and sounds of the bustling backstage environment. The opera house, a symbol of high culture and entertainment, is a fitting setting for Dr. Syntax's latest escapade. Surrounded by the vibrant colors and intricate details of the performers' costumes, the doctor seems to have momentarily stepped out of his usual world and into the magical realm of the stage. As the doctor engages with the performers, it's clear that he's not just an observer, but a passionate participant in the world of opera. His animated demeanor and eager expression suggest that he's eager to learn the secrets of the performance, to understand the artistry and dedication that goes into bringing the opera to life. The opera house, with its rich history and tradition, provides the perfect backdrop for this enchanting scene. The doctor's presence adds a touch of whimsy and delight, reminding us that even the most sophisticated and elegant of pursuits can be approached with a sense of wonder and curiosity. This image, taken in 1820, offers a rare glimpse into the world of opera through the eyes of Dr. Syntax. It's a reminder that the magic of the theatre is not just found on the stage, but also in the moments behind the scenes, where the art of performance comes to life.
