Scene (the last) from the opera of "Medea", 1850. London production of Simon Mayr's "Medea in Corinto", the title role sung by Teresa Parodi:.vengeance accomplished, Medea ascends a car drawn by fiery dragons, and flies with Aegeus to Athens...All the violent transitions of sentiment were rendered truly and with the most startling effect. The curses of the enchantress were withering; her display of maternal feeling made the audience thrill with sympathy; and her last triumph over her enemies...where she mounts her fiery chariot, was portrayed in the grandest spirit imaginable...Her style of singing, and her vocalisation, are immensely improved. Her intonation is as sure as it is impressive, and now she executes florid passages with elegance; whilst the gusty, broken utterance of last year has disappeared. Constant applause greeted this noble display of talent'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the final scene from the 1850 London production of the opera "Medea" by Simon Mayr. In this dramatic moment, the title character, portrayed by the renowned soprano Teresa Parodi, triumphantly ascends a chariot drawn by fiery dragons. Having successfully carried out her vengeance against her enemies, Medea flies off to Athens with King Aegeus. The scene is described in the Illustrated London News as a grand and startling display of emotion, with Medea's enchantments withering, her maternal feelings evoking sympathy from the audience, and her final victory over her adversaries portrayed in the most magnificent way. Teresa Parodi's vocal abilities were highly praised, with her intonation deemed sure and impressive, and her execution of florid passages described as elegant. The image captures the intense emotion and drama of the opera's climax, leaving a lasting impression on all who witness it.
