EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne-Benoite-Louise Lavoye, a celebrated French soprano singer, graces the stage as the enigmatic Queen Leon in the opera "Ne Touchez pas a la Reine" (Do Not Touch the Queen) by Xavier Boisselot, performed at the Theatre Royal de l'Opera Comique in Paris during the mid-19th century. This stunning handcoloured lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie for Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, captures the essence of the production with exquisite detail. Lavoye's regal presence is on full display as she dons an elaborate and ornate costume, complete with a magnificent headdress and a train that trails behind her. Her expressive face, filled with emotion, conveys the depth of her character as she delivers a powerful and captivating performance. The rich colors and intricate details of the lithograph bring the production to life, transporting us back in time to the grandeur of the Parisian opera scene. The opera "Ne Touchez pas a la Reine," composed by Adolphe Adam, premiered in 1840 and was a popular success. The role of Queen Leon was a significant one for Lavoye, showcasing her exceptional vocal abilities and acting skills. This handcoloured lithograph serves as a testament to her talent and the enduring legacy of French opera during the 19th century.
