EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the grandeur and excitement of the re-opening of Drury-Lane Theatre in 19th century England. The image, taken from The Illustrated London News, showcases a pivotal moment in the history of performing arts. The scene is set on stage, where opera singers John Sims Reeves and Madame Dorus Gras take center stage. They are depicted during a performance of "The Bride of Lammermoor" with Mr. Reeves portraying Edgardo and Madame Gras as Lucia, two beloved characters from this renowned opera. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable - every line etched with precision brings to life the passion and emotion conveyed by these talented performers. Their expressions exude intensity as they captivate their audience with their powerful voices. Surrounded by fellow musicians and vocalists, including a female musician playing her instrument passionately, this image truly celebrates the artistry that unfolds within the walls of Drury-Lane Theatre. As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the immense talent that graced these stages throughout history. This engraving serves as a testament to the enduring power of music and its ability to transport us into another world filled with beauty and emotion.
