EDITORS COMMENTS
Marguerite Jeanne Camille Decroix, a celebrated soprano opera singer of the 19th century, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph as Ekimonna in the production of L'Étoile du Nord at the Opera Comique. Decroix made her debut on the opera stage in 1848 and quickly rose to prominence with her captivating voice and enchanting stage presence. L'Étoile du Nord was a popular operetta composed by Adolphe Adam and first performed in 1854. Decroix's portrayal of Ekimonna, a character known for her exotic beauty and allure, showcased her exceptional vocal abilities and acting skills. The production was a great success, and Decroix's performance as Ekimonna was widely acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. This beautiful handcoloured lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris in 1853, captures Decroix in the role of Ekimonna with remarkable detail and precision. The intricately designed costumes, elaborate hairstyles, and expressive facial expressions convey the drama and emotion of the operetta. Decroix's career spanned over three decades, during which she graced the stages of the most prestigious opera houses in Europe. Her legacy as a remarkable soprano opera singer continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. This exquisite lithograph is a testament to Decroix's enduring impact on the world of opera and a reminder of the rich history of theatrical costumes and performances of the 19th century.
