EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle. Maria Nau as Nelly in the Pastiche Opera "Robert Bruce" by Gioachino Rossini: A Vibrant Portrayal of Scottish Pride and Passion This handcoloured lithograph, created in 1846, showcases the renowned soprano singer, Mlle. Maria Nau, in the title role of Nelly in the pastiche opera "Robert Bruce" by the Italian maestro, Gioachino Rossini. Performed at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris, this production of "Robert Bruce" marked an innovative fusion of various musical genres, including grand opera and Scottish ballads. Mlle. Nau's portrayal of Nelly, a Scottish Highlander, is brought to life in this stunning illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, as part of Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris. The intricately detailed tartan costume, adorned with vibrant reds, greens, and yellows, underscores Nelly's Scottish heritage and her passionate connection to her homeland. The dramatic pose and expressive facial features of Mlle. Nau further emphasize the intensity and emotion of her performance. The pastiche opera "Robert Bruce," with its unique blend of musical styles and cultural influences, was a testament to the creative vision of Rossini and the innovative spirit of the Parisian opera scene during the mid-19th century. This exquisite lithograph not only captures the essence of Mlle. Nau's captivating performance as Nelly but also serves as a visual testament to the rich history of opera and the enduring allure of Scottish culture.
