EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and exuberant costume design captures the essence of Count Almaviva, a character from Mozart's beloved opera "The Marriage of Figaro". Created by Luigi Sapelli in 1905 for a performance at La Scala in Milan, this gouache on paper print showcases the flamboyant and noble nature of the count. The Count Almaviva is depicted wearing an elaborate Spanish-inspired ensemble. His cloak drapes elegantly over his shoulders, adding to his air of nobility. The intricate details of his costume, including garters and a flamboyant hat, reflect the opulence associated with aristocratic characters in classical theater. Sapelli's attention to detail extends beyond the clothing itself. The artist pays careful attention to the count's hairstyle and wig, ensuring that every aspect of this character's appearance is meticulously crafted. Through this stunning design, we can imagine how Count Almaviva would have appeared on stage during a performance of "The Marriage of Figaro". This portrayal perfectly captures the essence of Mozart's music and Lorenzo Da Ponte's libretto, bringing this iconic character to life. As we admire this artwork from Giancarlo Costa’s collection at Museo Teatrale alla Scala in Milan, Italy; we are reminded not only of Mozart’s genius but also the enduring power and beauty found within opera as an art form.
