EDITORS COMMENTS
Mademoiselle Breval in the Title Role of Reyer's Epic Opera 'Salammbo' (1890) This photograph captures Mademoiselle Breval in the title role of Jules Massenet's contemporary rival, Jules Reyer's epic opera 'Salammbo,' based on Gustave Flaubert's novel of the same name. The opera, first performed in Paris in 1890, tells the story of the Carthaginian priestess Salammbo and her tragic love affair with the Roman soldier Matho. Mademoiselle Breval's portrayal of Salammbo is a testament to her exceptional vocal and dramatic abilities. The opera's historical setting and grandiose themes required a powerful and versatile performer, and Mademoiselle Breval rose to the challenge. Her interpretation of Salammbo's complex character, torn between her religious duties and her forbidden love, left audiences breathless. The photograph captures the intensity and passion of Mademoiselle Breval's performance. Her expressive face and dramatic pose convey the depth of emotion required for the role. The elegant costuming and the ornate set design of the opera's production are also reflected in the image, adding to the sense of grandeur and historical authenticity. 'Salammbo' was a groundbreaking opera for its time, and Mademoiselle Breval's performance as the title character was a critical and popular success. The opera's epic scope and its exploration of themes such as love, power, and religion resonated with audiences, and Mademoiselle Breval's interpretation of Salammbo remains a defining moment in the history of opera. This photograph is a rare and precious document of a pivotal moment in the history of opera and the career of a remarkable performer. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Parisian opera scene of the late 19th century and the powerful artistry of Mademoiselle Breval as Salammbo.
