EDITORS COMMENTS
Mme. Mallet as Bertha in Le Billet de Marguerite, a Comic Opera in Three Acts at the Lyrique Theatre, Paris, 1854 This handcoloured lithograph by Alexandre Lacauchie, from the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, captures Mme. Mallet in the role of Bertha in the comic opera "Le Billet de Marguerite." The opera, in three acts, was first performed at the Lyrique Theatre in Paris in 1854. Mme. Mallet's portrayal of Bertha is full of energy and exuberance, as she is seen here holding a fan and looking off to the side with a mischievous smile. Her elaborate costume, complete with a voluminous skirt, corset, and high collar, is typical of the opulent and ornate attire worn on the Parisian stage during the mid-19th century. The opera "Le Billet de Marguerite" was a popular success, with its humorous plot and memorable music. The production featured a large cast and elaborate sets, making it a spectacle to behold. The costumes, designed by the best artists of the time, were a crucial element in bringing the characters to life and adding to the overall visual appeal of the production. Lacauchie's lithograph provides a glimpse into the world of Parisian opera in the mid-19th century, offering a glimpse into the extravagant costumes, the lively performances, and the vibrant theatrical culture of the time. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of detail and depth to the image, making it a beautiful and intriguing work of art in its own right.
