Signor Lablache as "Caliban", 1850. Italian opera singer Luigi Lablache in
Fromental Halevy's "La Tempesta", at Her Majesty's Theatre, London. Caliban's triumph first over Ariel, whom he imprisons in a tree, and next over Miranda, the object of his brutal love, affords the composer and Lablache the opportunity of displaying all the treasures of their respective arts. Lablache's interpretation of the character of Caliban, in this second act, exceeds all praise; he has realized all Shakspeare dreamt off, and makes the spectators feel astonished they could endure for an instant the wretched-singing Calibans of the English stage'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

Signor Lablache as Caliban, 1850: A Stirring Interpretation of Shakespeare's Monstrous Character This photograph print showcases the renowned Italian opera singer Luigi Lablache in the role of Caliban from Fromental Halevy's opera "La Tempesta," performed at Her Majesty's Theatre in London during the 19th century. The image, taken from the Illustrated London News, captures Lablache's powerful and mesmerizing portrayal of the infamous character from William Shakespeare's "The Tempest." Caliban's triumphant moments over Ariel and Miranda in the second act of the opera offered Halevy and Lablache the perfect opportunity to showcase their artistic prowess. Lablache's interpretation of the character of Caliban surpassed all expectations, leaving audiences in awe and astonished that they had once endured the less-than-stellar Calibans of the English stage. In this photograph, Lablache is depicted in a full-length, engraved image, dressed in the appropriate apparel for the role, including bare feet, claw-like hands, and a long, flowing beard. The black-and-white image captures the raw intensity and power of Lablache's performance, with his body language and facial expressions conveying the complex emotions of the monstrous character. The photograph serves as a testament to the transformative power of acting and the arts during the 19th century, as Lablache brought Shakespeare's Caliban to life in a way that left audiences feeling both entertained and moved. This image is a valuable piece of history, capturing a moment in time when the arts reached new heights and captivated audiences with its raw power and emotion.
