EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph captures an enchanting moment from an opera performance in Cochinchina, the southern region of Vietnam, during the early 19th century. The image is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, a significant ethnographic and anthropological work published in Meissen, Germany, around 1835-1840. The opera scene is set against a backdrop of intricately designed stage decorations, with performers in elaborate costumes and traditional makeup. The central figure, a female performer, gracefully sings into a delicate fan, her voice carrying over the orchestral accompaniment. Surrounding her are musicians playing various instruments, including a two-stringed instrument called the dan tranh and a drum, while other performers engage in animated dialogue or dance. The opera tradition in Cochinchina was a significant part of the region's cultural heritage, reflecting its rich history and diverse influences. This performance showcases the unique blend of indigenous and Chinese elements that characterized the art form during this period. The elaborate costumes, intricate makeup, and expressive body language of the performers offer a glimpse into the customs and traditions of Cochinchina's people. This image not only serves as a visual record of an important aspect of Cochinchina's history but also highlights the region's artistic and cultural significance. The handcolored lithograph technique adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of ethnographic or historical materials.
