EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique in 1852, depicts the renowned tenor singer, Parre, in the role of Zephoris, the fisherman, from the comic opera "Si J'étais Roi" (If I Were King) by Adolphe Adam. The opera, first performed in Paris in 1852, was a popular success and showcased Parre's exceptional vocal abilities. In this scene, Parre's portrayal of Zephoris exudes authenticity and charm. Dressed in the traditional attire of a fisherman, complete with a net and a conical hat, Parre embodies the character's simple and hardworking nature. The intricate details of the handcolored lithograph bring the image to life, capturing the rich textures of Parre's costume and the picturesque setting of the seashore. The opera "Si J'étais Roi" was a significant work in the history of French grand opera, with its engaging plot and memorable music. The role of Zephoris, a humble fisherman who rises to power and ultimately renounces his throne, allowed Parre to display his versatility and comedic timing. This image serves as a testament to Parre's talent and the enduring appeal of "Si J'étais Roi." The lithograph, produced by Galerie Dramatique, was part of a series documenting the costumes of the Parisian theatres, providing a valuable record of the visual aspects of the opera production during this period. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcolored lithograph make it a stunning addition to any collection of opera history or theatrical memorabilia.
